Nevada Police use shipping containers to support local community

'Inside the box' with Douglas County Sheriff's Office

When Eveon discovered that a 40ft container had been shipped to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office in Nevada, we were curious to learn how a decommissioned shipping container made it on Nevada’s ‘Most Wanted’ List...

When not investigating crimes, enforcing order and laws, or protecting the lives and property of Nevada residents, The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office is focused on helping raise money for the community. “We remain dedicated to maintaining the quality of life enjoyed throughout the area and ensure our county is a safe place to live, work and visit," Captain Joe Duffy notes.

While some may think a purchasing a used container 100% online from Eveon Containers may be a little intimidating, the real scare comes from attending the Sheriff’s Office’s annual nonprofit haunted house _Fright at the Fairgrounds_. Held throughout the month of October and climaxing on Halloween, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) _Fright At The Fairgrounds_, is a child friendly event to help support charitable organizations like the K9 Unit, DCSO Honor Guard, Family Support Council and members of the community stricken with cancer.

“We launched _Fright at the Fairgrounds_ as a fun way to raise money while entertaining, and maybe scaring a few children. Operated by DCSO deputies and civilian volunteers who donate their time to planning, building, decorating, and operating the event, it’s quite popular and produces fun and excitement for all ages. For years we kept props, staging and equipment from the event in various garages and warehouses around town.”

>### “The container from Eveon was an ideal affordable storage solution for us. It was definitely something that was on the top of the list for DCSO. The buying process and delivery couldn’t have been easier.”

The Douglas County Sheriff’s Office serves as the County’s only local law enforcement agency. Incorporated in 1861, their motto of “A Tradition of Service” speaks to their employee’s commitment to protect and serve the citizens and visitors of the area.
