This application is seeking funding from the FY25 community policing development microgrant program to improve our agencys approach to fighting drug related crimes

The Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) Office within the Department of Justice awarded County of Nevada $175,000 on October 1, 2025, under the Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grants program (CFDA 16.710) to acquire an MX 908 narcotics detection device and Peregrine software solution for enhanced drug market interdiction. The equipment and software strengthen the county's capacity to detect, identify, and interdict illegal narcotics in real-time, enabling deputies to respond expeditiously and safely in dangerous situations. The project grant runs through September 30, 2027, with performance at Nevada City, California.

Through the acquisition of the MX 908 device and peregrine software solution we will strengthen our ability to disassemble local drug markets. Both of these technologies will significantly improve our capacity to detect, identify, and interdict illegal narcotics in real-time and allow deputies to act expeditiously and safely in dangerous situations.
