SPARKS — The Sparks Police Department, because of layoffs, will be cutting its front desk hours.
The front desk in the Prater Way building will be open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The office will be closed Sunday.
The shortened hours come after two front desk people were laid off as a result of Monday’s sweeping budget cuts.
The Sparks police department encourages those with an emergency to call 911.
During those times the front desk is closed, citizens can call 353-2231 for all nonemergencies.
