Municipal courts and other local systems

Municipal and local court coverage is separate from the county trial-court path. Custody: The Clark County Detention Center is the county correctional facility identified by the county government. The Sheriff's Office separately provides patrol, investigations, courthouse security, and process-service functions. Municipal: The Clark County Sheriff's Office states that its patrol division responds to calls and complaints in the county. City police and municipal courts may have separate authority within incorporated communities, including Winchester.
