Recent ‘Operation Safer Streets’ law enforcement effort results in 12 arrests
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, March 18 and Saturday, March 19, 26 officers from the Carson City Division of Parole and Probation office, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office and the Lyon 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” 8 offenders were arrested for violating conditions of their supervision and 4 non-supervised individuals were arrested for committing new crimes.
Officers performed 74 home contacts, 4 employment contacts, 4 field contacts, 40 drug tests, and 28 K-9 searches. In addition to meeting with offenders, officers performed 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.
