Dan PineauFor Nye County Sheriff

I'm Dan Pineau, a 29-year Nevadan and longtime Nye County resident who has spent nearly three decades serving and protecting this county. I began my law-enforcement career with the Nye County Sheriff's Office in 1999, working every corner of one of the largest counties in America, from Smoky Valley and Tonopah to Beatty, Amargosa, and Pahrump. I know these communities because I've lived in them, worked in them, and protected them.

Over the years, I've served as a Deputy Sheriff, EMT, NCSO S.W.A.T. member, and K-9 handler. My work in drug interdiction led to major narcotics and cash seizures, including the largest drug-money seizure in county history. I've earned multiple commendations, including recognition from the NYPD Detectives Endowment Association for assisting in a multi-state money-laundering investigation.
