Eight arrests made in Nevada DPS 'Operation Safer Streets' parole and probation checks
The Nevada Department of Public Safety Division of Parole and Probation officers in partnership with the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Apprehension Task Force; Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms agents; and officers from the Regional Gang Unit conducted “Operation Safer Streets” on Wednesday, Nov. 19, and Saturday, Nov. 22, around the Reno and Sparks area.
The mission of the operation was to conduct home contacts on high risk offenders, who require intensive supervision and/or electronic monitoring, and to locate fugitives and offenders with active warrants. The operation was made possible through additional funding provided by the U.S. Marshal’s Office.
As a result of “Operation Safer Streets”, two offenders were arrested for violating conditions of their supervision, and six fugitives were located and arrested; during the operation officers located an individual who committed a home invasion several hours prior, and he was taken into custody.
Additionally officers had two hundred and twelve personal contacts with offenders, or members of the community, and forty-six attempted contacts.
This multi-agency collaboration was a great success. “Operation Safer Streets” allows for increased offender supervision and is an example of how federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies work together to increase community safety in Northern Nevada.
