Message of the Week 11/14/2025

November is here already! This is the time of year that the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office begins preparing for Shop with a Sheriff! Shop with a Sheriff dates back many years and is a great program that helps further our mission of breaking down barriers between our youth and law enforcement.

The Shop with a Sheriff program offers underprivileged youth from our communities the opportunity to shop for Christmas presents alongside first responders from the area. The Walmart in Fernley has hosted the event since its inception and has become a great partner of the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office.

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office raises funds for the Shop with a Sheriff program through generous donations from the community. Donations from local residents and businesses are returned to the youth of the community. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has an established charity account that funds all of the items given out at community events, Lyon County Fair, Fourth of July Events, Halloween community events, Christmas events, and Shop with a Sheriff.

The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office has set the goal of providing over 40 local children with the Shop with a Sheriff experience. That means our fundraising goal is $12,000! Donations can be made at any Lyon County Sheriff’s Office substation, or arrangements can be made for pickup.

If you would like to participate in the Shop with a Sheriff program, please contact Jenna Dykes at the Lyon County Human Services Offices, located at 620 Lake Street, Silver Springs, NV 89429. Human Services phone number 775-577-5009.

Thank you to our donors who have participated in this great event in the past. The Lyon County Sheriff’s Office looks forward to your continued support!

Respectfully,

Sheriff Brad Pope
