Requesting Entity: Nevada State Police, 2101 Snyder Avenue, Carson City, NV 89701
Project Name: Nevada State Police - Byrne JAG
Requested Amount: $360,000
Subcommittee:CJS – COPS Technology and Equipment
Project Description: Use of force incidents in the United States are garnering national attention and we are eager to provide updated and standardized training to our officers. A virtual reality (VR) training system will allow us to use the scenarios provided to ensure all officers are equipped to deal with situations in a way that offers the least level of use of force possible while ensuring officer safety. With the proposed utilization of VR during de-escalation/critical incident training at both the academy and in-service trainings, NSP expects to see an increase in the number of scenarios that cadets and officers can go through to better prepare for the field. NSP trainees normally only receive a single live-action scenario during de-escalation training. Our agency can select from these scenarios, customize the tasks officers should perform to de-escalate a difficult situation, pause and play to allow trainers to interact with the trainee, and then review the scenario from different vantage points. Metrics collected will allow our agency to determine where additional training resources should be deployed and what training topics need further reinforcement. The ability to standardize this training across our entire agency would be invaluable.

Requesting Entity: Virgin Valley Water District, 500 Riverside Road Mesquite, NV 89027
Project Name: Virgin Valley Water District
Requested Amount: $6,760,000
Subcommittee:Interior and Environment
Project Description: One of the Virgin Valley Water District's main transmission lines is experiencing failing pipe due to high pressures, bad pipe material, improper installation practices, and corrosive soil conditions. In the past three years there have been four major pipe breaks causing asphalt damage to the adjacent roadway, and significant water losses. The leaking pipe contributes to the District losing approximately 30,000 gallons per day of water (over 11,000,000 gallons per year), or approximately 150 homes worth of water use per year. Replacing the water lines will make the District's system more efficient by reducing pumping energy and help the District to achieve it's 2035 water conservation goal of 85 gallons per capita per day for residential use, and thereby delaying the timeframe for which the District will have to develop it's Virgin River water rights for future culinary water needs.

Requesting Entity: Clark County, Nevada. Located at 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, 3rd Floor, Las Vegas, NV 89117
Project Name: Clark County, Nevada
Requested Amount: $1,500,000
Subcommittee:Homeland – Emergency Operations Center Grants Project
Project Description: This project will fund a portion of the design costs for a joint project between Clark County, the City of Las Vegas, the City of North Las Vegas, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) to design and construct a Joint Communications Center to serve as a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for police and fire call taking and dispatching for the participating entities. This project will serve as a second communications center with full redundant capabilities of the current communications center operated in our region, responsible for dispatching calls for police and fire response to emergencies (911) as well as non-emergencies (311) for all Clark County residents and visitors. This single dispatch system for our 2.4 million residents and an average visitor volume of 43 million people poses a considerable vulnerability as a single point of failure for all calls of service. This second facility will be geo-diverse with fully redundant call-taking dispatching, and radio communication functionality. A site has been selected (Clark County Assessor Parcel 12624301019) in Congressional District Four.

Requesting Entity: City of North Las Vegas, 2250 Las Vegas Blvd N, Ste 700, North Las Vegas, NV 89030
Project Name: City of North Las Vegas - City of North Las Vegas Losee Wash Diversion Project
Requested Amount: $11,494,142
Subcommittee:Interior and Environment
Project Description: The City of North Las Vegas Losee Wash Diversion Project (LWDP) will solve an urgent sewer infrastructure issue within the target area. Currently, two sewer mains converge in the Las Vegas Wash Channel at Gowan Road, between Losee Road and Civic Center Drive. This convergence creates a pinch point which causes overflow and spills into the community, releasing contaminates and creating a public health hazard. This urgent public health issue disproportionally affects the low-income and unhoused community within the surrounding area. The City of North Las Vegas is requesting $11,494,142 to fund the construction of a relief to limit sanitary sewer overflows and provide additional capacity to develop north and northwest portions of the city. The City has obligated $2,298,828 in matching funds in support of this project.
