CLARK COUNTY — The opening of the Clark County 911 Communications Center has been delayed until 2022 due to “several unforeseen issues.”
Several factors, including supply chain shortages and vendor availability, have forced Clark County to delay the project until next year, officials said in a release.
“We’re working as hard as we can to update our infrastructure to get the 911 Communications Center operational as quickly as possible,” Clark County Administrator Jenny Hutchinson said .

The county says it plans to use the $5 million, 7,000-square-foot facility as a dispatch center, office, and training facility managed by the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.
It will include next 911 equipment that will allow the public to send digital content directly to dispatchers, including pictures, text messages and GPS locations.
There will be no disruptions in public safety during the delay, Major Chris Clark of the Clark County Sheriff’s Office said.
