Three days have passed since angry protesters vandalized many buildings in downtown Reno, including the police station and city hall. The incident happened nearly a week after George Floyd, who died in police custody after an officer kneeled on his neck for several minutes. So far, officers have arrested 25 people who they say were involved in the ruckus. RPD expects to make even more arrests as it receives more information.

"Our detectives are constantly gathering intelligence both from what they've seen on social media and what really the community has been able to provide," Officer Travis Warren, Reno Police Department said. "That's been a huge source of information for us and I appreciate that."

The Northern Nevada Regional Intelligence Center created a tip portal for people to share their videos and pictures to help with the investigation.

"We were getting a lot of information and we needed a place for our detectives to access that so they could start looking and compiling these cases," Warren said.

Police officers are paying close attention to what is happening now and in the coming days. Warren says RPD is preparing for any situation and will have personnel and equipment in place if necessary.

"With this being such a fresh incident in our area and then what's happening nationally, we are definitely monitoring everything and planning accordingly," Warren said.

RPD prides itself on its community policing. Officers say it is a way for residents to get to know and trust the men and women in blue. Warren says the program is a pillar of what the police department does, and that it is paying off.

"I think that was shown on Sunday morning with how many people came out to both the Reno Police Department and just to downtown Reno," Warren said. "That was cleaned up in a matter of hours."

Reno has had many protests in the past several years, including a Black Lives Matter. Warren says community policing helps in those situations because they meet with organizers to make sure the events go as smoothly as possible.

"We're no strangers to peaceful protests and really our job is to make sure that people's voices are heard and they can do it safely," Warren said.
