Free Nevada Parole Search (Track Down Parolees & Absconders)

Perform a free Nevada parole search on anyone throughout the state today.

The right to access parolee information is possible due to the state’s Public Records Act and the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

Parole is the early release of offenders from prison into the community to serve the rest of their sentences; accessibility to parolee details is important for the public since it allows them to help safeguard communities and remain informed.

State agencies are the primary hosts of these records, but they can also be retrieved from county agencies at no cost to the public. Interested parties can also search for parole information without knowing which jurisdiction has supervision over an offender; this resource provides helpful links and tools to quickly locate details on any parolee in Nevada.

How To Track Down Parolee Details for Free (Nevada Parole Search)

In the state of Nevada, patrons can look for information on parole by contacting the Department of Corrections and the state’s Department of Parole and Probation. Nevada’s definition of parole is the release of incarcerated inmates into the community to complete their sentences.

The State of Nevada Department of Corrections has an online inmate search feature that can find offenders that are currently in detention facilities.¹

In addition to this, this tool shows inmates released on parole and their respective hearing dates. Use the contact prior contact link to verify information found using this tool since the DOC does not guarantee the information as being free of errors.

Interested parties can also contact the agency that oversees parole in Nevada; the State Police Parole and Probation Office. This office does not explicitly provide a search tool that can access a database of parolees under their supervision.

However, citizens who need to find this information can contact the office directly and make an inquiry to locate an offender and whether the information can be released to them.

They may reach out to the Nevada State Police Division of Parole & Probation at 775.684.2600—the prior link has contact information and addresses for the respective cities that the division has locations in, including Las Vegas, Carson City, Pahrump and Reno.³

Interested persons may make a public record request through the Nevada Board of Parole Commissioners. This can be done either through an online request or via fax or mail.

The Board may charge fees associated with the cost of ink, paper and copying costs. However, some requests may be free of charge. Contact the Nevada Board of Parole for more information. Fax requests are sent to 775.684.4809 and mail requests to the address below:

Execute a Search for Parole Violations & Runaways (Absconders)

Offenders who are on parole must adhere to certain conditions even after release into the community; they become absconders when they violate these conditions by failing to report to their probation officer or committing a crime.

The public can search for these offenders by contacting the Nevada State Police Parole and Probation or run a parole search through the Nevada State Police Division of Parole and Probation.⁵

The probation office has a list of wanted fugitives that have violated their parole conditions.

This list displays their names, mugshots (photographs) and physical descriptors. It is free to access by the public.

Interested persons can also reach out directly to the Nevada State Police Division of Parole and Probation by calling their Carson City Office at 775.684.2600 to confirm the identity of absconders. They may also visit the office at the address above.

How To Look Up Inmates in a Nevada State Prison

Nevada has several correctional facilities and conservation camps run by the Department of Corrections; this state agency will be the point of contact for individuals who need to search for inmates in the state.⁷

The Nevada Department of Corrections has a database of offenders that are held in its multiple facilities and this can be accessed using the Inmate Search Tool for free. To find inmates, users can search by name or offender ID. Information displayed includes booking information, physical descriptors and photographs (mugshots) of the offenders.

Families and friends are able to visit inmates in Nevada. Visitors must adhere to certain protocols implemented by the various facilities, such as dress code, not bringing in contraband and calling ahead before visiting. The prior link provides information about all the facilities and what is required of their visitors.

Before visiting inmates, visitors must be approved by completing an inmate visitation application form and they will need to follow guidelines set by this visitation manual.⁸

Contact the prison beforehand to ascertain what protocols they have in place upon approval as a visitor as the requirements will vary by institution. See these frequently asked visitation questions to answer commonly asked queries.

The public can also receive phone calls from inmates —friends and family can fund calling accounts. These rates and fees apply and answers to frequently asked telephone contact questions are here. Individuals on the outside can send electronic messages to inmates; however, inmates cannot do the same and may only receive messages.

Additionally, family and friends of inmates in Nevada prisons can send money to inmates by depositing funds through money order or check into a Lockbox Deposit Coupon or by calling Access Corrections and depositing money through credit or debit card. The latter is the quicker method.

How To Contact Someone’s Parole Officer & See When Their Next Parole Hearing Is

Having knowledge of an offender’s parole officer is vital to maintaining community safety especially when members of the public are witness to violations and actions that can be deemed as dangerous.

To find out someone’s parole officer, offenders will need to contact the Nevada State Police Division of Parole and Probation (this prior link provides contact to all offices in the state; call the numbers to execute a Nevada parole lookup).

Typically, parole officers are not associated with the offender, but citizens can still get in touch with the parole office and voice their concerns particularly in regard to their safety.

Probation — unlike parole — is the suspension of a sentence of offenders who have been convicted of an offense; they do not serve prison time, but are released back into the community under court-imposed conditions.
