CARSON CITY SHERIFF’S OFFICE HOSTS NEVADA STATE DARE OFFICER CONFERENCE
Carson City Sheriff’s Office is hosting the Nevada State Dare Officer Conference. The conference will be held on June 8-9, 2010 at the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, 911 E. Musser Street, Carson City, NV. DARE Officers from across the state of Nevada will be receiving training in a variety of law enforcement and prevention issues. Undersheriff Steve Albertsen said, “Carson City Sheriff’s Office is very pleased to host the State Dare Conference. It has been a goal for the past three years to bring the conference to Carson City and we are honored to see it come to pass.”
The DARE Program was reinstated by Sheriff Ken Furlong whose implemented community policing efforts incorporated nationally known and proven programs including National Night Out, Neighborhood Watch, Volunteers in Police Service, and D.A.R.E. Sheriff Ken Furlong said, “the value of our children is well deserving of a solid commitment from the Sheriff’s Office to mentor and aid in their education. Our entire community benefits from quality education and I am honored that the Carson City School District has for years graciously allowed our teams to participate in the classroom. Additional services that have become mainstays in prevention efforts are the Cops and Kids Spaghetti Dinner and Cops and Kids Sheriff’s Open House.”
The D.A.R.E. curriculum is developed by educators and taught by trained officers. It focuses on responsibility, resisting peer pressure, facts about drug abuse and techniques in making good decisions. It has components for elementary, middle, high school and after school programs. It is research and principle based. Student learning experiences include authentic activities, active learning principles and officer facilitation. In July 2009, the United Nations Economic and Social Council awarded D.A.R.E. America Special Consultative Status. There were 142 applications submitted and only 36 such awards granted.
D.A.R.E., Officer Lisa Davis said, “The D.A.R.E. program has received widespread support in Carson City. Implementing it has been an incredible experience because our community literally unified behind the efforts coming from Carson City Sheriff’s office. I stand amazed every day!” Sponsors for this conference include Carson Station, Round Table Pizza, the Carson City Chamber of Commerce, Local’s Bar B Que, Fandango Casino, Partnership Carson City, and Team Sports, Inc. Additional costs for the conference are covered by a Justice Assistance Grant awarded to the Carson City Sheriff’s Office and by the Nevada D.A.R.E. Officer Association.
DARE Officers have to maintain their P.O.S.T. and D.A.R.E. certifications. This training is an opportunity to showcase the strengths of the community and heighten awareness about substance abuse and decision-making. Among the speakers include the Honorable John Tatro, Rory Plenata, Director of Alternative Sentencing, Dick Clark, Nevada P.O.S.T. and Miss Nevada USA 2010 Julianna Erdesz. Officers from Las Vegas Metro Police Department will offer certification classes in the new DARE Middle School Curriculum, “Keeping it Real” and other supplemental lessons.
Carson City Sheriff’s Office is continuing the tradition of building strong positive bonds between law enforcement, youth and the community. We hope you join us! For more information call Lisa Davis at (775) 887-2500 ext. 41930.

Subject: Cops and Kids Sheriff's Open House
Carson City Sheriff’s Office is hosting the 7th Annual Cops and Kids Sheriff’s Open House safety, crime and substance abuse awareness fair. This special event will be on Saturday, May 22, 2010 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. at the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, 911 E. Musser Street, Carson City, NV. Cops and Kids Sheriff’s Open House was started by Sheriff Ken Furlong as part of the community policing efforts implemented by his administration.
Cops and Kids Sheriffs Open House is designed to: (1) build positive relationships between law enforcement, youth and citizens; (2) increase awareness about ways to prevent crime, substance abuse, violence and gangs; (3) allow youth the opportunity to meet positive role models and participate in positive alternative activities. This year Carson City Sheriff’s Office is pleased to announce a very special guest – Miss Nevada USA 2010 Julianna Erdesz who will be on site to participate in the festivities and meet children.
Interacting with youth gives them a sense of belonging and ownership both with the sheriff’s office and with the community. Youth follow our example, therefore this is the perfect time for divisions and departments to come together and model the integrity of law enforcement and public safety set forth in our ethics and Code of Conduct. Sheriff Furlong said, “as we continue to build positive relationships with our youth, it is important to realize the strength of bond established at very early ages. For a young boy or girl to be able to identify with an officer/deputy by first name, barriers are reduced and trust with confidence is built.”
Budgets are tight. Many of the services and materials are funded by local businesses and a grant through the Bureau of Justice Assistance. This event started in an effort to give back to the community and gained so much community support that sponsors stepped in to defray costs. Grocery Outlet, Kemp’s Fun Jumpers, Benson’s Feed, Economy Speed Press and Dan Kimm Rock It Productions all give or provide services at minimum cost. The result is free activities to learn and have fun, free hot dogs and beverages while supplies last, and prizes for youth who complete many of the activities. Undersheriff Steve Albertsen said, “These businesses give so much – it’s amazing to have the same sponsors come together and consistently partner with their Sheriff’s Office.”
Law enforcement officers will be displaying equipment and their various areas of expertise. Members of the Canine Unit, the Explorers, Search and Rescue, Reserves, Volunteers in Police Service, S.W.A.T., CSI Crime Lab, Evidence, Detention, Patrol and others will be on hand to meet the community and answer questions.
Additionally, the public can enjoy many hands-on activities from sheriff’s office employees, local agencies including the Partnership Carson City, Boys and Girls Club of Northern Nevada, Mentor Center, the Emblem Club, Ron Wood Family Resource Center, Stand Tall Don’t Fall, St. Teresa’s youth group, Karate for Kids, Victory Christian Center, and much more. This is an excellent opportunity for parents to find out about summer youth activities available in Carson City.
Carson City Sheriff’s Office is continuing the tradition of building strong positive bonds between law enforcement, youth and the community. We hope you join us! For more information call Lisa Davis at (775) 887-2500 ext. 41930.

Subject: Regional Gang Enforcement Grant Submitted
On April 9, 2010, the Sheriffs of Carson City, Douglas County and Lyon County made application for the extension of the Regional Gang Initiative Grant awarded to the counties in 2009. The grant application asks for $270,281 to extend operations to June 2011. Funding provides for full salaries and benefits to the team for the next nine months.
All three Sheriffs recognized the value of last year’s decision to expand anti-gang operations across county lines and work cooperatively with suppression and prevention efforts. Sheriff Furlong provided a specific recent event that exemplifies the effectiveness of the enforcement team. On April 2, 2010, the regional gang unit was assigned to locate and arrest (warrants) a known gang member in the area who had been confronted by officers in Reno. The local team worked throughout the evening in all three counties making contact with known associates and searching residences. By late evening, the team’s efforts paid off and an arrest was made in Carson City. This incident is but one of several successful operations that have been completed since October 2009, sending the message out to gangs that they can no longer hide out across county lines.
The original grant was funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), through the Nevada Office of Criminal Justice Assistance. As a result, the counties staffed one Deputy Sheriff from each jurisdiction and Carson City added a civilian support staff, allocated directly to the team. In addition to enforcement activities, the regional gang unit is responsible for enhanced training to other officers and to provide community education and prevention events in all three areas. The grant also provides for advanced intelligence sharing with other law enforcement agencies throughout many western states.
Sheriff Furlong briefed both Sheriff Pierini and Sheriff Vail that he is optimistic that this grant will be funded as requested. The grant will be reviewed in May and funding notifications will be sent in June.

Subject: Public Release of Carson City Crime Mapping
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office now offers for the community the enhanced ability to stay informed of crime right from their own homes. Known as Crime Mapping and available on the Carson City Web Site (or through CCSheriff.com), residents and businesses can now access up to date crime information and use it to better protect themselves.
Crime Mapping focuses on crime prevention and is most valued in the neighborhood watch areas where residents band together to enhance their own quality of life. By knowing exactly what is occurring, neighbors can be vigilant to actual activities and report suspicious incidents quickly to the police. Reported incidents of crime appear right on the computer monitor, either in a mapped or satellite view. Plus, the features of this internet based program can be set to notify you of crime even without accessing the web site. At no cost, anyone can register right on the web site for updates to be electronically sent to an email address. This addition to our neighborhood watch program, led by the Sheriff’s Office Reserves, is one of the most significant tools offered in the community in many years.
Crime Mapping can be found on the Sheriff’s Office tab of the Carson City web site. Along with the mapping services, other valued information used by the Sheriff, such as the monthly crime trend information, department business plans, and Mission Level effectiveness measures, can also be accessed. In difficult economic times, the goal of the Sheriff’s Office is to use information and prevention programs to stretch our dollars out the furthest. Crime Prevention is everyone’s responsibility and reduces law enforcement costs.
While funded by the Sheriff’s Office for the first year of availability, administrators will monitor closely the frequency of it’s use. It is hopeful that sponsorships will grow and the long term continued service will be maintained through individual and business donations. Get the real picture and see what’s really happening in your own neighborhood through Crime Mapping.

Subject: The Census Bureau Is In Town
The Census Bureau is beginning to complete their task of counting the U.S. population as required by Section 221, of Title 13 of the U.S. Code . Normally you will be sent a form in the mail to complete. You may also be visited at your home by a census worker.
If you don't send back your form, you may receive a visit from a census taker. If a census taker visits you, here's what you should do:
• First ask to see their ID. All census workers carry official government badges marked with just their name; they may also have a "U.S. Census Bureau" bag
• Note that the census taker will never ask to enter your home
• If you're still not certain about their identity, please call the Regional Census Centers to confirm they are employed by the Census Bureau. Phone: 1-800-923-8282 (Monday to Thursday: 8:30 - 5:30 ET Friday
• Answer the census form questions for your entire household (you must be at least 15 years old to answer questions) so that the census taker can record the results for submission to the Census Bureau.

Subject: Jamaican Lottery Phone Scam
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is warning residents of a Jamaican lottery phone scam targeting seniors. The scam usually begins with a phone call from a Jamaican area code, typically from an "876" number.
Usually, the caller will have a Jamaican accent and inform the victim they have won a price as much as 2.5 million dollars, a vehicle or some other prize. They will then be told they need to pay taxes to claim the winnings.
Victims may also receive calls telling them to send the money via a wire transfer to collect their prize. The scammers tell them not to tell anyone about winning so as to avoid excessive public attention.
The Sheriff’s Office emphasizes that the scammers try to intimidate their victims by calling with their personal information, including their home address, convincing seniors they are friends or acquaintances.
Seniors are advised who aren’t expecting international phone calls, to check with the phone service providers about placing a block on calls coming from outside the U.S. The block would prevent the scam calls from Jamaica. Furthermore, the Sheriff’s Office is reminding residents to always verify the source of phone calls when asked for money or personal bank information. In addition, never give personal information such as Social Security numbers or date of birth.
Contact the Carson City Sheriff’s Office at (775) 887-2020 ext 41400 with any questions or concerns about this scam or others.

Subject: 2010 Decennial Census
The 2010 Decennial Census is upon us. Sheriff Furlong and the United States Department of Commerce would like to prepare our residents for what to expect and how to best protect themselves.
The goal of the U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Department of Commerce, is to meet constitutional and legislative requirements to count the U.S. population. The decennial census process is the largest domestic undertaking in the United States. Beginning in February 2010, census questionnaires will be delivered either by hand or mail to residents. This process is expected to continue through late August.
The census processes will bring unfamiliar faces into our neighborhoods from February through August while delivering the questionnaires. All of our residents and Neighborhood Watch Captains should be aware that each bureau employee must be in possession of a valid regional level identification card bearing the holders picture and expiration date. While the census process is an official function of the Commerce Department, it is also possible that would be thieves may canvas neighborhoods in search of their own gain.
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office encourages everyone who encounters a census employee to ask for their official identification before exchanging any information whatsoever. Without exception or excuse, refuse to speak with anyone presenting themselves as a census employee, but is without credentials. Please report these persons immediately. Anyone who is concerned after seeing lurking or suspicious persons in their neighborhoods should immediately report the activity that appears out of character.
To report suspicious activity, please call the Carson City Sheriff’s Office, Communications Center, at (775) 887-2010. A Deputy will respond to the area and confront any activity reported. Within reason, please attempt to provide operators with the following useful information:

Subject: Holiday shopping
The Holidays are here again and along with the holiday cheer we must take precautions to keep ourselves and our property safe. With Christmas right around the corner, folks are out in force and shopping like crazy. If given the opportunity, there are some that would take advantage of the crowds and steal whatever gifts they could get their hands on, but if we all take a few precautions we can minimize the likelihood of becoming victims of crime.
1. Try not to get impatient. There are many others out there doing the same thing you are and we all tend to lose patience when we are out on he road. Try to be a courteous driver and remember that saving a few seconds on the road is not worth sacrificing your safety. It is not worth getting into an accident or a road rage incident.
2. Select a parking space that is near other cars. Try to avoid areas that are icy, and be careful walking on slippery parking lots. You may want to plan ahead and wear appropriate footwear to help you with traction and warmth. If you are shopping after dark, park in a well lit area near other vehicles.
3. While shopping, be careful of your credit cards and personal identification numbers. Keep your purse or handbag in your possession at all times and do not flash quantities of cash.
4. When you return to your car with your merchandise, put it in your trunk, where it can be locked up. If you must place merchandise inside the car, try not to leave it where it is visible. Always lock your car when you are not with it, and never leave valuables in plain sight. If possible, do not leave valuables in the car.
5. Be aware of your surroundings. Avoid being a victim by avoiding dangerous situations. Be aware and alert as you drive, and watch for drivers who are on their cell phones or are not paying attention.
6. Do not leave valuables in your car once you arrive home. The best way to avoid being a victim, is to eliminate opportunity. If you feel unsafe, or see suspicious activity, or are the victim of a crime call 911.
The Sheriff’s office is committed to the safety of our citizens. We will increase patrols in the retail districts of Carson City in order to help safeguard our people and property. If you see a crime or suspicious activity, call 911 and report it immediately. Most of all, have a safe and happy holiday.

Subject: Curfew
As I review reports written by our patrol Deputies I often see reports about juveniles that are out in the middle of the night past curfew hours, drinking, smoking, stealing, etc. and that does not include the kids that we do not come into contact with. I often wonder; do the parents know what their kid is up to? Is the parent aware of the curfew law and the corresponding curfew hours?
It has been my experience that parents do care what their kids are doing, they just don’t understand the curfew law, or they feel they have little control over what their children are doing. I would like to remind parents that they are responsible for their children’s behavior and with a bit of firmness and knowledge of the law, perhaps they can prevent a bad situation. We all know that children do not receive quality supervision in the middle of the night when they are alone or with friends, so let’s take responsibility and keep the kids at home.
If you are not familiar with it, here is Carson City’s curfew law:
1. It is unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years whether a pedestrian or traveling by motor vehicle or other conveyance, to loiter, idle, wander, stroll, move about or play in or upon the public streets, highways, roads, alleys, parks, playgrounds or public grounds, public places and public buildings, commercial parking areas, places of amusement and entertainment or vacant lots within Carson City:
a. For those under the age of fifteen (15) years between the hours of ten p.m. and five a.m.;
b. For those age fifteen (15) years but less than eighteen (18) years between the hours of midnight and five a.m.
2. The provisions of this section do not apply to a minor:
a. Accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having care or custody of that minor;
b. Directed upon an emergency errand by his or her parent, guardian or adult person having care or custody of that minor;
c. Who is attending or traveling to or from a school, community or private function with approval of his or her parent or guardian or adult person having care or custody; provided, that a responsible adult person is physically present and immediately available to chaperone or supervise that function; or
d. Who is at his or her own residence or the adjacent common areas of the residence.
3. Any minor violating this section may be arrested and taken into custody by a law enforcement officer for transportation to the juvenile detention center, or cited and released to a parent or guardian, or taken home to his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having care and custody. Upon disposition the minor may be dealt with as deemed appropriate by the juvenile division of the first judicial district court, including a fine in an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00).

It has been my experience that parents do care what their kids are doing, they just don’t understand the curfew law, or they feel they have little control over what their children are doing. I would like to remind parents that they are responsible for their children’s behavior and with a bit of firmness and knowledge of the law, perhaps they can prevent a bad situation. We all know that children do not receive quality supervision in the middle of the night when they are alone or with friends, so let’s take responsibility and keep the kids at home.

We all know that children do not receive quality supervision in the middle of the night when they are alone or with friends, so let’s take responsibility and keep the kids at home.
If you are not familiar with it, here is Carson City’s curfew law:
1. It is unlawful for any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years whether a pedestrian or traveling by motor vehicle or other conveyance, to loiter, idle, wander, stroll, move about or play in or upon the public streets, highways, roads, alleys, parks, playgrounds or public grounds, public places and public buildings, commercial parking areas, places of amusement and entertainment or vacant lots within Carson City:
a. For those under the age of fifteen (15) years between the hours of ten p.m. and five a.m.;
b. For those age fifteen (15) years but less than eighteen (18) years between the hours of midnight and five a.m.
2. The provisions of this section do not apply to a minor:
a. Accompanied by his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having care or custody of that minor;
b. Directed upon an emergency errand by his or her parent, guardian or adult person having care or custody of that minor;
c. Who is attending or traveling to or from a school, community or private function with approval of his or her parent or guardian or adult person having care or custody; provided, that a responsible adult person is physically present and immediately available to chaperone or supervise that function; or
d. Who is at his or her own residence or the adjacent common areas of the residence.
3. Any minor violating this section may be arrested and taken into custody by a law enforcement officer for transportation to the juvenile detention center, or cited and released to a parent or guardian, or taken home to his or her parent, guardian or other adult person having care and custody. Upon disposition the minor may be dealt with as deemed appropriate by the juvenile division of the first judicial district court, including a fine in an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00).

Subject: Regional Gang Initiative Grant Award
The Carson City, Lyon County and Douglas County Sheriff’s Offices have been notified by the Office of Criminal Justice Assistance of the award of approximately $350,000 for the conceptual formation of a tri-county Regional Gang Initiative. The Recovery Act Grant Application was submitted in July 2009 requesting $1,047,019 for a three year period. According to the Office of Criminal Justice Assistance, funding for one year was approved.
Gang issues in the three counties have been a priority concern for some time. In many cases, officers are doing double duty on patrol and gang enforcement. These officers also face jurisdictional boundaries. The grant acknowledges that gangs do not recognize our county lines. They often live, function, and create discord in many different areas at the same time. By their nature, they are often transient and move to areas with the least gang enforcement presence. This characteristic requires intense multi-agency cooperation and communications. The first steps toward implementation of a tri-county team will begin with an efficient information sharing platform which will join the agencies firmly into statewide programs currently in use by Washoe County, Clark County and within the Nevada Department of Prisons.
As a result of the partial funding, the law enforcement agencies will be required to re-evaluate the methods of accomplishment to achieve their proposed goals. Sheriff Furlong, Sheriff Pierini and Sheriff Vail have immediate plans to develop a working group that will focus on implementation. During that same period, each of the agencies will be required to coordinate with their local government entities. As the primary recipient, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office will submit the award to the Carson City Board of Supervisors for acceptance.
In July 2007, the Carson City Sheriff’s Office increased staffing to combat street level (user) narcotics. These two deputy positions were newly funded. In 2008, the two man team was expanded to include two additional full time gang enforcement officers and a supervisor. This enhanced effort was the result of a reorganization of operating positions and was intended to proactively target illegal gang and drug activities. The results of this initiative have been promising and all three Sheriffs agree that a regional approach will greatly enhance our combined enforcement capabilities.

Subject: Street Vibrations 2009
Street Vibration is once again coming back to Carson City during the week of September 23rd through the 27th. The Carson City Sheriff’s Office is committed to making this annual event fun and enjoyable for not only the motorcycle riders attending but for the general motoring public as well. The Carson City Sheriffs Office wants you to know that we will be continuing our efforts in safety and enforcement of traffic laws to ensure that our roadways remain safe for all public roadway users and would like to reaffirm the requirements for some of the particular traffic violations that we see during this event. These violations tend to involve both motorcyclists as well as automobile drivers.
- Remember motorcycles are entitled to full use of the travel lane, we often see autos attempt to occupy the same space as the motorcycles. NRS: 486.341.
- Motorcyclists are entitled to ride abreast of one another in the same travel lane but may not overtake another vehicle while in the same lane nor are they allowed to split travel lanes (passing on the divided white line) at any time. NRS: 486.351.
- Motorcyclists are required to have a "Motorcycle Endorsement" on their license and are subject to the same paper work (insurance and registration) as autos. NRS: 486.061.
- As usual basic traffic laws apply to all vehicle operators, turning movements require signals as do lane changes. NRS: 484.333 thru NRS: 484.337.
- Drinking and driving/riding NRS: 484.379 will get you sent to jail or worse thus ruining your weekend, be responsible.
Automobile drivers must stay vigilant and watch-out for motorcyclists, motorcycles are smaller and harder to see but if we all just take a moment to slow down, pay attention and obey traffic laws, we can all enjoy the street vibrations experience by either participating or watching the bikes roll by.

Subject: School Is In
As summer winds down and the days start to get shorter we tend to try to pack our days with as much "summer" type activity as we can before old man winter comes along. As you go about your daily business, remember that school is now in session. That includes all of the elementary schools, middle schools and high school. That means that you will see the students walking to and from school, crossing guards in the school zones and parents driving in and out of the schools dropping their kids off and picking them up. Be aware that the speed zones are active and you will see deputies in those school zones, enforcing the traffic laws. Pay attention to the times of the school zones and the speed limits.
Most of the school zones have flashing amber lights while there is a special speed limit in effect, but not all of them. All of the school zones have signs that tell what the speed limit is in the school zone and what times. For everyone’s safety, pay attention to these signs. In the coming weeks, you will also see special signs on Fairview, Saliman, and King Street that calculate your speed as you approach and flash at you if you are exceeding the speed limit.
One of the more challenging areas for motorists is on Saliman in front of the High School. Driving through this area can be frustrating during peak hours, which are between 7:20 and 7:45 A.M. and between 1:50 and 2:05 P.M. It may be easier for motorists to plan a different route which allows them to avoid this area during those times. Please remember that all Carson City Municipal Traffic Codes are enforced on School District Property.
All persons visiting the High School need to remember that parking at the High School is Permit parking only. Parking citations are issued on vehicles without a parking permit. This does not include attended vehicles waiting to pick up or drop off students in the loop in front of the High School.
Also, for the safety of all the students, all persons visiting any school need to check into the Offices immediately.
Anyone with questions or concerns may feel free to contact Deputy Scott Davis, School Resource Officer at (775)283-1621.

Subject: Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws -- Agency of the Year
The Carson City Sheriff's Office is proud to announce being the recipient of the "Enforcement of Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL), Law Enforcement Agency of the Year." This award was presented by the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice, Delinquency Prevention, on August 15, 2009 in Dallas, Texas. Receiving the award for Carson City was Undersheriff Steve Albertsen, Detective Daniel Gonzales and Deputy Sal Acosta. On behalf of our business partnerships was Star Anderson and Alex Canas of the Carson City Nugget. Representing the statewide Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws project and Partnership Carson City was Kathy Bartosz.
Each year the Office of Juvenile Justice funds $17,500,000 to all fifty states for the enforcement of underage drinking laws. Nevada receives its fair share at $350,000, and the Carson City funding is $15,000. Locally, that funding is used with one single objective; to prevent the tragic loss of a single juvenile to an alcohol related incident. The local monthly alcohol compliance programs include Business Compliance Checks, Shoulder Tap Enforcement, and Server Training. Less known and published are enforcement activities at juvenile parties and DUI traffic enforcement targeting underage use of alcohol and driving.
While this award recognizes a law enforcement agency, in Carson City that agency is best defined by partnerships. The award would not have been possible without the partnerships that have been forged, beginning with the Board of Supervisors/Liquor Board, Carson City Business Licensing, officers committing their time & effort, and especially the businesses of this community who actively and with initiative prevent alcohol sales to minors. Our many thanks go out to the businesses of this leading community. Without their full cooperation and assistance, the efforts of the Liquor Board and Sheriff's Office would face many unnecessary obstacles.
The future of our community efforts includes the added initiative of a Community Volunteer Board. Sponsored by our Courts, the District Attorney's Office, Juvenile Probation, the Sheriff's Office, and all of our partners in town, the Community Volunteer Board will be an enhancement to addressing juvenile deliquency prevention at its earliest stages and fostering good decision making skills.

Subject: Operation Community Shield
The Carson City Sheriff’s Office participated in Operation Community Shield, a three-day enforcement operation led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The operation took place throughout the region as an ongoing initiative by ICE’s National Gang Unit. The joint operation planning began in the early spring, along with a second operation known as FALCON, led by the U.S. Marshalls Service. On June 4, 2009, the federally funded revenue streams were approved by the Carson City Board of Supervisors.
Operation Community Shield is a force mulitplier that allows for overlapping jurisdictions to provide each other with the most current and aggressive intelligence information to target crime (specifically gangs). This type of inter-agency cooperation and joint response helps to eliminate jurisdictional barriers, create eficiency and produce positive results. In Carson City alone, the two operations resulted in numerous arrests:
Operation FALCON
June 6, 2009: 13 Felony arrests (7 for illegal re-entry to the United States)
9 Misdemeanor arrests
Operation Community Shield
June 18, 2009: 12 Felony arrests to deportation
5 persons in current custody had deportation holds placed on them
5 other misdemeanor arrests not resulting in ICE holds
I am pleased with the results generated by our Special Operations Unit, along with all of the officers who worked during both June operations. Gangs and the activities commonly seen associated with gangs have presented Carson City law enforcement officers and residents with the most serious challenges and threatening circumstances. Topping the list of challenges are those illegal immigrant thugs who would invade our country and bring senseless violence into our neighborhoods. Two examples of the violence were witnessed in just the past two months.
With the relationships that have been built, we hope to send a strong message that the law enforcement agencies working in all areas of Northern Nevada work together and share information for the greater publics safety. It is the intention of the Carson City Sheriff to continue these efforts on a regular basis.

Subject: Special Operations Unit First Quarter Results _______________________________________________________________
In January 2009, the Sheriff’s Office made operational it first ever full time Special Operations Unit. The purpose of the unit was to adjust law enforcement strategies to an ever changing society. For many years, community surveys and feedback have reinforced the priorities of gangs and drugs. The Special Operations Unit was formed to make that adjustment and attack gangs and drugs from a proactive initiative basis and possibly curb the more violent and dangerous offenses from taking place in the community. The team is comprised of a Sergeant (supervisor), two deputy sheriffs targeting street level drug activities, and two deputy sheriffs targeting gang activities.
During the first quarter of 2009, the team has been very successful. Felony arrests have increased by 475%, misdemeanor arrests by 1450%, misdemeanor citations by 1950%, and reports have increased 716%.

Old Special Enforcement Concept – August to October 2008 |

The Sheriff’s Administration is pleased with the increased enforcement activities of the team. The officers have shown a great deal of enthusiasm and focus for taking a “bite out of crime.” It has long been known that repeat offenders create the biggest draw on public safety resources. This team monitors the whereabouts and activities of known offenders. When seemingly minor offenses take place, the team is there to place the offenders back in check.
The Special Operations Unit also supervises the department K-9 program, Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL), visiting dignitaries, special events and major crime trends.
