Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2011, $250,000)

The Smart Policing Initiative (SPI) fosters the collaborative effort and strategic partnerships between probation agencies and local law enforcement agencies, broadening the collective knowledge of effective policing and probation strategies.

The city of Reno will continue efforts funded under the fiscal year 2009 Smart Policing Initiative grant program. The city's project aims to prevent the diversion and abuse of prescription drugs, particularly among youth, through education, monitoring and enforcement, and the proper disposal of unused drugs. Program coordination will involve state medical agencies, the county school district, and community based organizations. The city will partner with the University of Nevada, Reno for data collection and analysis.
