What we do not know

Esmeralda County Sheriff

  • Which courthouse quote the board approved, and which fuel site quote, both of which sit in minutes we cannot read.
  • Whether anything governs who may review this footage, how long it is kept, or what happens when a law enforcement agency asks for it.
  • What the five-year service agreement in each quote commits the county to, and what it costs after the five years.
  • What is in the five hundred and sixty-one undated files on the county's website, which could not be placed in the period we read.
