Title: Arrest Related Deaths in Nevada, 2009-11 Summary: For nearly a decade, the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), through the Deaths in Custody Reporting Program (DCRP) (PL 106-297), has collected inmate death records from each of the nation's 50 state prison systems, 50 state juvenile correctional authorities, and from local jails throughout the country. In 2003, BJS began collecting arrest-related deaths data from state and local law enforcement agencies as a part of the DCRP. Since the initial data collection year, law enforcement agencies in Nevada have not provided BJS with arrest-related deaths in custody information and are under no obligation to do so. In 2009, funding from the State Justice Statistics Program (award #2009-BJ-CX-K035), administered by BJS, was used by the Center for the Analysis of Crime Statistics (CACS) to develop and implement a statewide online data collection instrument. This survey tool offers local law enforcement agencies throughout Nevada a quick and easy way provide arrest-related deaths in custody information that can be included in the DCRP. In 2011, 51 of Nevada’s 53 agencies (96%) participated in the project. This State Data Brief presents details related to the arrests-related deaths that occurred in Nevada from 2009 through 2011 and that were reported to CACS. The report includes information on when incidents occurred, demographic information of the suspects, the cause and manner of the reported deaths, the mental/physical condition of suspects at the time of the incidents, the locations of the deaths, and whether suspects were armed.
