WHITE PINE SHERIFF'S OFFICE

Ely is the county seat of White Pine County. There is splendid deer and elk hunting in this area. The Nevada Maximum Security Prison is also located just outside of Ely. Ely is located south of Elko about 95 miles, and east of Eureka on Highway 50.

This patch was probably in use before the one in the center. I have spoken to U.S. Francone about this patch, and the time frame is unknown. There was another style used before this one, which is a rare one. That very first patch was modeled after the security patch for Kennecott Copper, which was the counties largest employer for a long time. The economy slumped and the prison was built, whick really helped boost the economy there. This is one of the old style patches. This patch was in use for a long time. This patch was replaced by the one on the right in 1998. Thanks to Undersheriff Michael Francone, I have this new style patch to show you.
