Department Of Public Safety Nevada

The Department of Public Safety Nevada Parole & Probation Division, doing business as Parole & Probation Division, is a U.S. state government entity responsible for monitoring and supervising high-risk offenders in the community who are granted probation or released from prison to community supervision on parole. Its mission is to enhance public trust and community safety by rehabilitating and limiting the ability of these individuals to reoffend, while protecting the community.

Through various federal grant awards, the Parole & Probation Division has undertaken projects to enhance public safety and improve offender supervision. It has received funding from the Nevada Department of Public Safety to install physical barriers and visitation phones at its facilities to reduce COVID-19 exposure risks for staff and visitors. Additionally, it has acquired technology for virtual supervision services and remote communications with offenders. The Division has also participated in the Safer Streets Initiative, funded by a $73,655 grant, which allows officers to conduct pre-planned and strategic operations on weekends, targeting high-risk offenders. These operations have led to increased offender supervision, apprehension of individuals engaged in criminal activities, and the collection of evidence such as firearms, drugs, and child pornography.
