Training Division Enhancement Units
 E240: $929,892 (SFY 18) - $904,974 (SFY 19)
 Southern Nevada Training Academy
 This request will allow the Department to conduct four academies per year
 The southern academy will be in addition to the northern academy
 The southern academy will appeal to more candidates in the southern Nevada
region
 Staffing for the southern academy will mirror the northern academy with 4
DPS Officers, 1 Sergeant, and 1 Captain to oversee and manage both locations
 The southern academy has been temporarily located at the National Guard in
Las Vegas, pending a suitable permanent location
 By having an academy every 3 months, it lessens the likelihood of losing
approved candidates to other law enforcement agencies simply because their
academy starts first

DPS Office of Cyber Defense
B/A 4704:$399,058 (SFY 18) -$477,307 (SFY 19)
The Cyber Defense office will:
• Position Nevada to manage a broad range of cyber threats and hazards
effectively
• Coordinate cyber crime response across affected sectors or
communities
• Establish principles governing the State’s response to any cyber
incident, whether involving a government or private sector entities
• For significant incidents, the Office will set up guidelines to identify
lead agency roles and architecture for coordinating a broader incident
response

DPS Office of Cyber Defense
 Defining Cyber Attacks
Cyber Incident: An event occurring on or conducted through a computer
network that actually or imminently jeopardizes the integrity, confidentiality, or
availability of infrastructure controlled by computers or information systems, or
information residing thereon. Such cyber incident may include vulnerability in
an information system, system security procedures, internal controls, or
implementation that could be exploited by a threat source
 Significant Cyber Incident: A cyber incident that is (or group of related cyber
incidents that together are) likely to result in demonstrable harm to public safety
or economic interests of the State or to the public confidence, civil liberties, or
public health and safety of Nevada’s citizens

DPS already has the operational entities in place
 Nevada Threat Analysis Center-NTAC:
 Intelligence and threat monitoring

 Division of Emergency Management-DEM
 Planning and preparation
 Response coordination
 Recovery coordination

 Why the DPS? - continued
The Office of Cyber Security would not assume any role in operation of any
system infrastructure
 The Director is the Chief Executive Officer of the Department and directs all
administrative and technical activities of all the divisions
 DPS’ divisions already regularly work together and in tandem on all cases that
require multiple disciplines as well as coordinated efforts with local law
enforcement as well as with federal partners
 Example: Panaca


 The response activities to any cyber incident would include the
following:

Conducting appropriate law enforcement investigative activity
Collecting evidence and gathering intelligence
Storing evidence
Linking related incidents
Identifying additional affected entities
Identifying threat pursuit and disruption opportunities
Developing and executing courses of action to mitigate the immediate threat

Facilitating information sharing, situational awareness, and operational
coordination
Mitigating the impacts of cyber incidents
Identifying other entities that may be at risk and assessing their risk to the same
or similar vulnerabilities
Assessing potential risks to sector or region
Providing guidance on how best to utilize State resources and capabilities in a
timely, effective manner to speed recovery

DPS Office of Cyber Defense
 In short, it’s about public safety
Modern cyber crime has the potential to disrupt or threaten entire sectors,
industries, infrastructure or communities, i.e. transportation systems and
utilities
 Modern cyber attacks contain an organized criminal element that often have
ties to other states or even other countries
 In short, cyber defense is not about computers or computer networks; those are
just the weapons. It is about public safety and the ability to respond to all
types of criminal or public safety threats to Nevada
