Chapter 211 of the Nevada Code is focused on local facilities designed for the detention of individuals convicted of various criminal offenses. This Chapter includes provisions governing the creation, management and oversight of county jails, related facilities, the management of prisoners, credits that can be applied towards prison terms, the electronic supervision of inmates, and other important issues.
NRS 211.115 specifically addresses the appointment of an administrator who can oversee a detention facility. Let’s explore this topic further.
As a county grows, it might find a need for more law enforcement. As such, it may establish a city police force in highly populated cities. Furthermore, those cities might see a demand for more room to board prisoners than the county can provide. According to NRS 211.115, the governing body of any city can establish a jail or department of detention in connection with a metropolitan police department and place an administrator over it.
A metropolis is not just a very large city. To be classified as a metropolis, this large city must be a substantial political, economic, and cultural center for a region or county. It must also be a vital hub for international or regional commerce, connections, and communications. Besides this, this large city must be of significant size, housing at least 50,000 residents.
Nevada has a population of 3.09 million people. The rural areas like Ely, Tonopah, and West Wendover only hold a small percentage of this 3.09 million. In fact, just one metropolitan area alone and probably the one you’d be the most familiar with – Las Vegas Metropolitan Statistical Area holds about 75% of Nevada’s population!
The largest individual metropolises in Nevada are:
Nick Wooldridge has a long track record of representing clients accused of serious federal and state crimes in Nevada.
However, America is starting to speak in terms of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSA), which is a little different. With an MSA, the metropolis is only a part of a bigger metropolis. It’s an area with a large city at its center and close economic ties spanning throughout the rest of the area.
As such, Reno and Sparks are joined together with their smaller townships to make the Reno-Sparks, NV MSA. Las Vegas, Paradise, and Henderson join forces to create the Las Vegas Metropolitan Statistical Area.
For the purposes of time and space, I can’t cover the bail and release procedures for each city jail in Nevada, but I’m going to quickly cover those in the Las Vegas MSA.

You’ll find the bail window on the side of the building facing Stewart Street. The police department keeps it open for inquiry 24 hours a day. At the bail window, you can find out if your friend or family member is in custody, what his charges are, his next court dates, and what his bail amount is.
Release times could be from six to sixteen hours after the bail is posted. It depends solely on how busy the jail is and what state of security the jail is currently in.
The City of North Las Vegas also houses their prisoners at the City of Las Vegas Detention Center mentioned above. The procedure for posting bail, however, is different.
