James G. Miller
Sheriff Miller has over 30 years of successful, progressive experience in all phases of development and administration of Law Enforcement and Security Executive Management, both domestic and international. He grew up in Virginia City where his parents ran a business and his father was Storey County Undersheriff. After serving in the US Navy during the Vietnam War, he started his law enforcement career with the Carson City Sheriff's Department and was promoted through the ranks to the position of Chief Deputy. He was the elected Sheriff of Elko County for 10 years before taking a position as World Wide Security Director for an international mining company. After returning to Nevada, Jim operated his own business as a private investigator and security consultant before becoming Storey County Sheriff.
Since taking office, he has reorganized the department structure and increased visibility for more effective coverage, improved community involvement and communication, enhanced school safety, and upgraded emergency contingency plans.
In response to community requests, the department has taken an aggressive stance against drugs. Sheriff Miller has increased officer training in drug recognition, established a team to identify users and sellers, enhanced information exchange with other agencies, and offered drug awareness programs throughout the county.
Sheriff Miller makes it clear that his number one priority is to help ensure that this is a safe community: a safe place to live, to raise children, to operate a business and to visit as a tourist.
