of the State of Nevada March 14, 1917. At that time a Police
Supervisor, W.R. Mayer was appointed to be the executive officer
of his department and had under his special charge the enforcement
of all police regulations. June 2, 1917, George Cotant was

Of those 35 officers, 28 are assigned to the patrol division,

Of the 28 officers assigned to the patrol division, we have

assigned specific responsibilities.
