In regard to your request, attached is the Lyon County Sheriff's Office policy on our UAS program. We have no complaints from county officials, and we do not have written requests for use of the UAS. The remainder of the information requested will take additional time to transfer flight records from the digital application onto the proper medium for transfer.
