Narrative:
While making a visual approach into roc airport, we received no 'nose gear' down indication. We went around and performed all items on emergency checklist. We then called company over radio and spoke with maintenance operational control. Maintenance operational control suggested a few things but we still could not lower nose gear. We declared an emergency and prepared the flight attendant and cabin for an emergency landing. We landed normally and with assistance from fire fighters and flight crew we evacuate/evacuationed the aircraft. Evacuate/evacuation went fine with no reported injuries from our 21 passenger.
