Humboldt County Sheriff's Office

The county seat is Winnemucca, which is located at the junction of Interstate 80 and U.S. 95. Winnemucca is 51 miles west of Battle Mountain, and about 78 miles east of Lovelock. H.C.S.O. has a substation up north in McDermott, which is on U.S. 95 at the border of Oregon.

These two patches are actually the same size. Now that I have finally figured out how to scan my patches so that they become relative in size on the web page, you will start to see these disparities cleaned up. The reason that there are two patches shown here is that they are actually a little different. Look at the very top and you will see that there is a difference in the curvature of the top of the arrowhead. The one on the right is more defined. The moccasins are a bit different and the printing is different. I imagine this is probably only a different manufacturer.

The patches worn by the correction deputies and the street deputies are the same in color and design. However, the street deputies patch is larger. The current Sheriff of Humboldt County is Gene Hill. This is the corrections patch.

The same situation as with the two larger patches exists with these two patches. As you can see, there are small differences between the two, but they are actually both the same size. These are the corrections patches.

This is the badge patch. I don't know the dates that this was placed into use.

This last patch is smaller still. I haven't seen this one in use, so I am left to guessing. I think it is probably a hat patch.
