Mission The Mission of the RPD Special Events Unit is to ensure the safety and security of the event through a tourism-based policing philosophy, and partnering with the Citizens of Reno, City departments and event promoters to provide the highest levels of police services. Reno has established itself as a destination city hosting nearly 200 unique events in 2019. For 2020, the COVID pandemic had a major impact on Special Events for the year, resulting in the majority of the events not happening or requiring significant changes to meet COVID restrictions. These events can range from local block parties to premier nationally recognized events such as Hot August Nights, Reno Rodeo, Street Vibrations and the National Championship Air Races. Each one of these events has their own dynamic and requires specific planning to ensure a safe, orderly, and successful event. If you are looking to hold an event in the City of Reno please visit: Reno.gov/Business/Special-Events-Office. 24
