RENO, NV - “If Phillip Garrido had been properly supervised but California Parole and Probation at the on set, he may have been deterred from some of the acts now attributed to him,” That’s a direct line from a recent report of the U.S. District Court of Northern California. Nevada authorities are responding to that report, and reacting to the case of Phillip Garrido.

"Can you move that out from the door?" says a California Probation Officer from video tape released by the El Dorado County District Attorney's Office.

The video is being shot by Phillip Garrido's wife Nancy, as his probation officer does a home
inspection.

“What does the parole agent do for his parolee?" says Nancy Garrido

According to experts in the parole and probation field, this is a classic example of trying to get the officer off task--attempting to get his attention elsewhere.

It can happen like this with a video camera, but it’s not common.

“The first thing that went through my mind when I saw that, he is trying to get the agent to not see something or not find something, that would absolutely be a red flag,” says Lt. David Helgerman from Nevada’s Parole and Probation Division.

Helgerman has been with Nevada's Parole and Probation division for more than 12 years and has done home searches himself and with co-workers when they were needed.

The Dugard case he says had everyone in his field re-assessing and evaluating how they were supervising convicts let out on probation and parole.

If the case didn't wake them up, a report released just last week surely would have.

Conducted by the United States District Court of Northern California, it is highly critical of California authorities who supervised Phillip Garrido from 1988 to 2008.

The report, pointed to the lack of a training program for probation and parole, the under estimation of Garrido's ability to re-offend, and the lapse of time it took for authorities to make that initial contact with Garrido.

“They are required upon intake do a home visit for example with a sex offender within 30 days of the time we take control of the subject,” says Nevada Department of Public Safety Director Chris Perry.

Perry says his officers do receive special training and here in Nevada, sex offenders' risks are automatically calibrated higher.

Officers and their cases are highly supervised Perry says so that there is always another set of eyes examining counseling, drug testing, and home inspections among other things.

The entire program Perry says makes for an officer who is more thorough.

A recent example is the Joe Naso case.

An at home visit in Reno by a Nevada parole officer uncovered an advertisement for a gun. That in turn led to phone calls, a search---and Naso being sent to California for allegedly murdering four women.
