The Douglas County 911 Emergency Services Department has completed 40 hours of enhanced specialized training and is now better prepared to take 911 calls regarding missing and/or sexually exploited children.

Douglas County 911 Emergency Services has recently become a NCMEC 911 Call Center Partner – the first agency in Nevada to do so.

Every year 800,000 children go missing in the United States. That’s more than 2,000 children per day. Calls about missing and sexually exploited children can become high profile events that have a devastating impact on the victim’s family, your community, and your call center.

Every 911 call center must have in place policies and training to help ensure every missing and sexually exploited child is given the best chance to be found alive and unharmed.
