If one of those officers that didn’t get the training they were supposed to get ends up killing someone or violating their rights...the city is in for a huge lawsuit.

“Multiple sources close to the matter exclusively confirmed to the California Globe that the probe centers on allegations of forged training documents tied to mandatory Peace Officers’ Standards and Training (POST) certifications, including critical areas like firearms proficiency, mental illness response, and domestic violence intervention—trainings all, or some, of the officers reportedly never completed.

Current and former law enforcement officials were shocked at the news, telling the Globe that certification is not only required, but the alleged actions, falling under Chief Nance’s command, were entirely avoidable with proper leadership and oversight.

This unprecedented move, described by local officials as a first in Washoe County’s history, prompted the City of Reno to activate an interagency agreement with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office.

Washoe County Undersheriff Corey Solferino, a veteran with over two decades in law enforcement, was swiftly appointed as acting chief to maintain operational continuity.”

Reno Police Chief Kathryn Nance and five other officers were placed on paid administrative leave on March 9, 2026, due to a state-led investigation into potential violations of city policy.

The investigation, involving the Nevada Department of Public Safety and possibly the Attorney General’s office, focuses on alleged misconduct, possibly linked to officer training certifications.

“DEI bites Reno in the ass...”

there’s no other reasonable explanation for the need for mass forgery of training certifications ...

Policy violations? Like failing to instruct officers to interfere with ICE, maybe? Some policies SHOULD be violated!

Others should be honored to the letter. Which were violated?

The Four Most Plausible Scenarios Investigators Are Examining
Based on the language used, these are the four most likely investigative directions.

1. Internal Affairs or Discipline Manipulation
Possible examples:

protecting certain officers

altering reports

mishandling misconduct complaints

2. Hiring / Promotion Irregularities
These cases often involve:

command staff decisions

administrative policy violations

3. Financial or Overtime Misconduct
Possible examples:

overtime abuse

grant misuse

training reimbursement fraud

4. Selective Investigation
Possible examples:

Politically connected individuals receive less scrutiny

Complaints involving officials are not being pursued

Cases quietly closed despite credible allegations

I’m sure the mare isn’t involved. 🤔. Washoe county sheriff is running things IIRC.

My son-in-law got an Officer Dangle costume for Halloween about 10 yrs ago. Every time he wears that thing, I can’t stop laughing. I’ll see if he’s busy though. 🤣
