The Washoe County Department of Alternative Sentencing (DAS) was established in December of 2005 and approved by the Board of County Commissioners under the authority of Nevada Revised Statute 211A (http://www.leg.state.nv.us/NRS/NRS-211A.html). DAS was designed to provide supervision to people whose sentences have been suspended and during Pre-Trial criminal proceedings. Depending on the type of supervision you are required to complete, you may have conditions that are set by the court such as drug test, attend counseling, House arrest and/ or get an evaluation, etc... You can find resources to those requirements on our Forms page.
