Lincoln Police Department
LPD is divided into four geographic areas, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, also known as "Community Police Teams".
Each team has its own supervisors and Captain, and all teams are supervised by the Duty Commander.
"Emergency Traffic"
Signified by a repeating "marker" tone, all radio traffic on a specific channel is held except for traffic relating to a high-risk or potentially high-risk incident.
"Expanded Dispatch"
Daily, dispatch staffing allowing, LSO deputies and some LPD officers are moved to a third radio dispatch channel in order to spread out the workload of dispatchers.
There is no known schedule for when expanded dispatch is opened or closed.
