New River Valley Emergency Communications Regional Authority
Mission
The mission of the New River Valley Emergency Communications Regional Authority is to provide quality and reliable 911 dispatch and emergency communication services to the community and agencies we serve. Our partnership will promote interoperability, collaboration and convey the highest level of professionalism. Our commitment to excellence in public safety will foster a safe environment and promptly respond to the needs of our citizens.

Our Plan
  • Build a state-of-the-art regional emergency communications center by consolidating 911 operations from the County of Montgomery, Towns of Blacksburg and Christiansburg and Virginia Tech.
  • The Center will have approximately 45 staff members and is expected to be fully operational by 2015.
  • Current plans include locating the center in the current Montgomery County Courthouse in Christiansburg after it is renovated into the Public Safety Building. The design phase of the renovation began in summer 2011 and the building is slated for completion in early 2015.
