The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office reminds residents that drugs and/or alcohol
usage plays a major factor in violent crime during graduation time.

Detectives see that juveniles, both male and female, are using alcohol, illegal
and prescription drugs at younger age which increase the likelihood of placing
themselves in dangerous situations. Alcohol is the foremost contributing factor in
sexual assault cases being investigated by the Detective Division from May to
July.

The Sheriff’s Office recommends under aged persons celebrate graduation in an


alcohol/drug free environment, stay close to people you trust, don’t accept food
or drinks in opened containers offered by unknown people, and avoid high-risk
situations.

The Sheriff’s Office encourages victims and witnesses to report violent crimes
immediately. Call 911 in case of an emergency, non-emergency number 334-
COPS, or secret witness at 322-4900.
