Public employees are done internally by the respective public employer, I know that's the case for the school district. Clark County school police and personnel have their own live scan machines and direct connection to NV DPS. Henderson and North Las Vegas most likely do their own fingerprinting for their own employee applicants. The County themselves may refer applicants to the LVMPD Fingerprint Bureau.
Fingerprints done for state licensing purposes (i.e. real estate, insurance, etc.) they typically give you the blue FBI card to mail in with your application. The reason they do this is many non-residents hold Nevada real estate and insurance licenses so they can conduct business in multiple States.
From the paperwork I was given yesterday to get reprinted it appears the only people that were affected were CCW applicants and work card applicants.
The CCW detail got me in and out of there in 15 minutes from the day I walked in the door yesterday afternoon. They have been getting much better with their customer service and I will mention that in my complaint to LVMPD internal affairs. My complaint is not against the CCW detail. They took ownership of the issue even though it technically was not their issue and are doing their best to accommodate and correct the issue. Blame should be placed with the responsible party and I will make that clear during the next NSCA forum that my issue is not with Sgt Johnson, his staff or the firearm unit.
I did have some nice scenary to look at while I was there yesterday; female adult entertainers getting their work cards. 
What I'm very curious to know is why it took the Fingerprint Bureau this long to find out that fingerprints for the entire month of October 2008 were lost for CCW and work card applicants.
