The City of Reno and the Reno Police Department are mourning the loss of Thomas Lopey, a Reno Police Detective who recently passed away after serving the community for nearly 13 years.

“Tom was the kind of police officer every department hopes to have, and every officer is fortunate to work beside,” said Reno Police Chief Corey Solferino. “I had the privilege of knowing and working with him throughout much of my career. He was a dedicated detective, a respected leader, and, most importantly, a genuinely good man who cared deeply about his family, his fellow officers, and the community he served. His loss is felt throughout our department, and his legacy will continue through the countless lives he impacted.”

The Nevada Police Foundation extends its deepest condolences to Detective Lopey’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time and joins the Reno community in honoring his service and sacrifice.
