Actually, they don't like it if you use 911, but I don't know the non-emergency number for Reno dispatch.
I'm not sure abotu NV, but many places in CA have a special number (like 711 or something) specifically for that purpose. However, I believe the law (again in CA, I'm not sure if NV's the same) is that you do not have to stop for an unmarked police car, it's not safe to require citizens to stop for any car w/ flashing lights. They are supposed to call in a real car if you choose not to stop.

It's much harder for a rapist to drive around in a replica black and white w/o getting pulled over for impersonating a cop than for him to toss some lights on the dash of his Cavalier.
