Full Notification

On Wednesday, February 10, 2016, deputies from the Carson Sheriff’s Station drove to numerous locations in Carson (and neighboring cities) in search for persons with arrest warrants for domestic violence.

The number of domestic violence (with injuries) related incidents reported within the jurisdiction of Carson Station has significantly increased in the past year.

Due to the significant 63% increase in domestic violence incidents reported within Carson Station’s jurisdiction, detectives from Carson Sheriff’s Station conducted an operation which was focused on arresting persons with outstanding arrest warrants for domestic violence related incidents.  Personnel from Carson Sheriff’s Station went to 45 different locations and attempted to arrest the suspects named on the warrants.

The operation concluded with 5 arrests.

This exercise of due diligence should serve as a message to domestic violence offenders that their actions will have consequences.

Personnel from Carson Sheriff’s Station have also used the “No More” campaign template, and created an Anti-Domestic Violence public service announcement.

Please do not allow domestic violence to go unreported.  If you see something, say something.  Dial 9-1-1 if you are involved or witness domestic violence.

Together, we can end domestic violence.

Following in the light of the campaign “NO MORE” from the Joyful Heart Foundation, Carson Sheriff’s Station has produced a public service announcement demonstrating our continuing goal to end domestic violence and sexual assault. The “NO MORE” campaign strives to end domestic violence and sexual assault by addressing the silence and inaction of thousands of Americans who are victims of these horrible crimes.

The Joyful Heart Foundation shows how to get involved:
