It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that the Reno Police Department announces the unexpected passing of one of our own, Sergeant Ernest Kazmar. A beloved member of our department, Sergeant Ernest Kazmar, passed away on August 22, 2025.

“Sergeant Ernest Kazmar was a respected colleague and a steadfast public servant,” said Chief Kathryn Nance. “We are grateful for his service and the compassion he brought to the Law Enforcement profession. Our hearts are with his family, friends, and our RPD team during this difficult time.”

Sergeant Kazmar started his career with the Reno Police Department on October 23, 2009, as a lateral officer who previously worked at the Nye County Sheriff’s Office and the University of Nevada, Reno Police Department.

Sergeant Kazmar’s death is a tragic incident and one that is felt deeply by his family, friends, members of the Reno Police Department, and surrounding law enforcement agencies who worked with him throughout his career. Sergeant Kazmar is survived by his immediate and extended family. Please keep everyone impacted in your thoughts and prayers.

It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that the Churchill County Sheriff’s Office has to share that one of our valued members, Deputy Tristan Redmond has passed away. After being involved in an off-duty motorcycle crash on May 2, 2025, he was flown to Renown Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. After fighting for his life, Deputy Redmond succumbed to his injuries on May 13, 2025, with his wife and family by his side. Deputy Redmond selflessly served the citizens of Churchill County for the past 4 years, was a Field Training Officer (FTO), and was the secretary of the Churchill County Sheriff’s Deputies Association. Deputy Redmond is described by his law enforcement family as hard-working, dedicated to law enforcement, and served his community with integrity, vigilance, and persistence. Deputy Redmond’s passing has left an unimaginable void in the lives of those who knew and loved him. Please send prayers to this young man’s family, friends, and coworkers. This is a heartbreaking situation, and we are deeply saddened by this tragic event.
