WINNEMUCCA — The Winnemucca Police Department took top honors during a recent SWAT conference held April 23-26 in Wendover.  No one can say, though, they're resting on their laurels.

The Nevada Supreme Court is again spearheading a statewide celebration of Law Day, including the innovative Law Day Live – an interactive Internet forum that will electronically link panels from high schools in three communities.
