Reno Names New Assistant Chief

Reno’s police department has appointed Sean Garlock, a retired RPD commander, as its new Assistant Chief — a move aimed at stabilizing leadership amid a critical officer shortage. The city council approved the appointment Wednesday, officially ending a previous agreement with Washoe County Sheriff’s Office that followed the ousting of two prior Assistant Chiefs in May. With Garlock’s deep local experience, Reno hopes to rebuild command structure, streamline operations, and tackle staffing challenges — all while ensuring the department can serve the community effectively during this pivotal moment.
