About Us
The Mesilla Valley Regional Dispatch Authority (MVRDA) was created in 1989 through a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Las Cruces and Doña Ana County, becoming the first consolidated dispatch center in the Sate of New Mexico.
Currently, MVRDA is the 9-1-1 Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Doña Ana County, the City of Las Cruces, the City of Sunland Park, the Town of Mesilla, and the Village of Hatch. We are also responsible for dispatching the law enforcement, fire services, and emergency medical services agencies in those jurisdictions.
MVRDA’s operational area covers 3,807 square miles in southern New Mexico and serves a population of approximately 194,000 residents. In 2007, the Center received 426,369 telephone calls resulting in 313,943 incidents dispatched.
