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.
