President ial candidates will visit nevada non stop this year. At least two groups are responsible to keep them safe. The secret service, and our local law enforcement. Kolo 8 news nows Catherine Van joins us in the studio. Cat, it takes a lot of coordination to keep the candidates safe. Noah. Usually when a candidate schedules to come here. They contact secret service. The secret services then calls the local agencies usually weeks in advance to makes sure they get proper resources. And that can get hectic. Theyre hard to miss. Nats of driving with a fleet of secret service and cop cars surrounding them. And in the silver state. Its becoming a norm. Tim its very taxing reno police along with sparks pd, Washoe County and nevada Highway Patrol are working around the clock to accommodate the secret service and the candidates. Tim the secret service ranks each candidate by tier level. The higher the tier, the more security they need from local law enforcement. For example. When a hightiered candidate like Hillary Clinton came to reno monday. Local agencies were informed two weeks before her appearance was even announced to the public so they could come up with a game plan. Tim were all on the same sheet of music, were on the same radio frequency so we know where everybody is at, where the candidates at, when theyre leaving, where theyre going to be going, so we can makes sure we can keep them safe and the community informed. Each candidate has and will make a visit before the nevada caucuses. Which means extra security. And inevitable overtime. But the agencies know the year. To make sure the city and countys time and money are used efficiently. Tim we try to use as many officers as possible that are working on shift. We have swat officers, traffic officers that work 24 7 so we try to use them and reschedule them. If you are going to visit the candidates. Reno police urge you to get there early. Parking may be limited. And bring as few belongings as possible inside. Bernie sanders and Hillary Clinton have already made their visits this week.

Governor sandoval is entering nevada into an agreement, to share ideas and resources with 17 states. Its called the governors accord for a new energy future. This agreement would allow nevada to export excess energy the state is currently generating, to states like california. What i hope it leads to the construction of even more solar fields, the construction of more geothermal sites.
