History

RPD was established in 1903 to serve the growing community of Reno, which at that time consisted of a couple of square miles and had a population of around 1000. [1] Since then, RPD has grown along with the rest of the city.

As of 2013, RPD provided law enforcement services to an area of 105.9 square miles (274 km2) and a population of approximately 233,294 citizens.

Structure

The Department is led by a chief of police, who reports to the city manager.

Three main divisions exist: Administration, Support, and operations. [2]

Administration includes command staff, grant and records departments.

Support has Detective, Regional Operations, and Internal Affairs.

Operations handles Patrolling.

Other Programs [3]

In the Comedy Central series Reno 911! , the fictional "Reno Sheriff's Department" is the main focus of attention, which is a spin on the RPD.
