Operation Safer Streets, a multi-agency collaborative effort to perform personal contacts on high risk offenders under the supervision of the Division of Parole and Probation, was conducted in the Carson City, Douglas, Washoe, and Lyon County areas.
Over the course of two days, Friday, July 29th, 2016 and Saturday, July 30th, 2016, fifteen (15) officers from the Carson City Division of Parole and Probation office, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office and the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office performed personal contacts with high risk offenders in the area. The operation was made possible through funding provided by a Justice Assistance Grant to support the Division of Parole and Probation.
As a result of “Operation Safer Streets”, four (4) offenders were arrested for violating conditions of their supervision and seven (7) non-supervised individuals were arrested for committing new crimes. Officers performed sixty-three (63) home contacts, three (3) employment contacts, two (2) field contacts, twenty-two (22) drug tests, and five (5) K-9 searches. In addition to meeting with offenders, officers performed forty-eight (48) personal contacts with members of the community to verify offender compliance.
This multi-agency collaboration was a great success. “Operation Safer Streets” allowed for increased offender supervision, sharing of resources, and intelligence and serves as an example of how state and local law enforcement agencies work together to increase community safety in Northern Nevada.
