ECSO was approached by residents of Pine Valley that they would like to have an event like National Night Out. ECSO worked with several community members to plan a BBQ at the Hay Ranch Meeting Hall on September 16.

ECSO would like to thank the residents of Pine Valley for inviting us up for our first annual BBQ. Good times were had by all with raffle prizes handed out by ECSO staff. Thank you Carlin Fire and EMS and Eureka EMS for coming out to this event.

25 years ago on 9/11 the United States of America was attacked. 3 separate planes were used to crash and attack the Twin Towers in New York and the Pentagon. On Flight 93 the brave souls onboard fought back against the hijackers and the plane went down in a field in Pennsylvania.

2,977 lives were lost on 9/11. 441 of those lives were First responders. Let us remember those brave souls that ran toward danger to save lives. There are many more First responder lives that were lost from the hazardous environment on Ground Zero.

Please lower the American flag to half mast until sunset tonight in remembrance of those lives lost.

Never forget 9/11.

Eureka County Sheriff's Office has received several phone calls today about a Scam. There are subjects stating that they are Law Enforcement Officials and they are telling residents that they have a missed court appearance. The scammers will sometimes have some information about you like an address or where you work. The scammers number may be unavailable or they may clone a local phone number. Do not give these scammers any information, click any links they send you, agree to what they are saying, sign a document, and never ever send anyone money or gift cards. The Sheriff's Office or Courts will never ask you to pay fines with a gift card. If the call seems off/suspicious, hang up on the person and call the Sheriff's Office immediately.

Press Release
August 26, 2026

On August 25, 2026, Eureka County Dispatch received a call from Eureka Elementary School. Eureka Elementary informed Dispatch that they had just received a call about a threat to the school. Eureka County Sheriff’s Office Deputies arrived on scene within minutes of the call from the school. Eureka Elementary and High School were then placed on a lockdown to ensure the safety of the students.

ECSO worked with Nevada State Police, Nevada Division of Investigation, and White Pine Sheriff’s Office to make sure there was no threat to our children and community. When it was deemed there was no longer a threat, the schools were removed from lockdown. All Law Enforcement stayed in the area until the students were let out for the day.

ECSO treats any threat to our children and community as our top priority. ECSO will exhaust all avenues to find the person responsible, and Eureka County will prosecute them. ECSO is working with Nevada Division of Investigation to locate this subject or subjects that made this swatting call. This investigation will be ongoing, and ECSO will provide updates as progress is made on this case.

ECSO would like to thank Nevada Department of Transportation, Nevada Division of Investigation, White Pine Sheriff’s Office, Elko County, Eureka EMS, Eureka County School District, and Nevada State Police. We are honored to have these agencies as our partners.
