Telephone upgrades at NHP may cause communication disruption Saturday
Telephone and communication upgrades at the Nevada Department of Public Safety may interfere with communication calls with dispatch on Saturday.
The repairs are schedule to take place through noon Saturday and there is a possibility the NHP emergency line may be down during this time, said NHP Trooper Chuck Allen.
Those needing to make a non-emergency phone call for service to the Department of Public Safety during this maintenance period should dial (702) 486-4100 ext 6 to reach one of the dispatchers in the NHP Las Vegas office. To report a highway-related emergency during the possible phone service outage, please dial 911 and advise the operator of your crisis.
The NHP Las Vegas office will be dispatching troopers and other divisions of DPS in Northern Nevada during this time so that all of its calls for service are handled without delay.
