🌱 Community Input On New Police Chief + School Zone Enforcement

Hello, neighbors. I'm back in your inbox this morning with everything you need to know about what's happening locally. Let's do this.

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 92 Low: 62.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Reno who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Reno Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Reno today:

1. The City of Reno will be collecting community input during its Chief of Police search. Chief Jason Soto will retire in January 2023, and the city will be conducting a nationwide search to find a replacement. The survey will be open through Sep. 30 for residents to complete.

2. The University of Nevada, Reno will be getting federal support for research projects. The federal funds are through the Biden Administration's new CHIPS and Science Act. The funds will benefit the university's Center for Applied Research. (This Is Reno)
3. The Reno Police Department has set up school zone enforcement patrols. The department will be enforcing the zones Monday through Friday, thanks to a grant to a state grant paying for officer overtime. The department is asking residents to obey school zone laws and to fully stop at crosswalks. (KOLO)
