Probation occurs when an offender is allowed to spend their sentence under supervision instead of incarceration. Parole is reserved for those accused of violent crimes, and it refers to the conditional freedom offenders receive upon early release from prison. The offender must follow several obligations, including checking in with probation officers, or they risk returning to prison.

This resource offers streamlined guidance to those seeking details on parolees and probationers who have served time within the state of Nevada.

How To Conduct a Free Nevada Probation Search

When seeking in depth information about an offender, the NDOC inmate search tool (Nevada Department of Corrections) makes it convenient.1

This database offers comprehensive data, including the individual’s name, date of birth, demographics, aliases, booking history, parole and release statistics and information about their deceased status.

Criminal records are available to the public for free, and searches are available using either the offender’s inmate identification number or first and last name. From there, both probation and parole information is readily accessible, enhancing public safety efforts.2 The probation search is one of the fastest methods to gather the facts about an offender all in one place.

Searchers may utilize the Public Records Request System provided by the Department of Probation and Parole to request for records. To file a request, there are two options, the Online Record Request, which requires information such as name, address and telephone number, the date requested, requested records, type of request and the method you want to receive the copy of the record.

Another means is by completing the Public Record Request Form to the Nevada Department of Public Safety.
Request should be send to:

Nevada Department of Public Safety

Carson City, NV 89711

Phone: 775-684-4953

It is important to note that the request may be associated with fees, which differ depending on the type of record requested.

  • Gang affiliation
  • Crimes involving controlled substances
