Emergency radio enthusiasts in Lincoln will soon lose live access to the city's primary police dispatch channels.
Instead, the Lincoln Police Department will publish an online feed that is delayed by 10 minutes — the expected response window for officers' highest-priority calls.
News outlets, including the Journal Star, will be allowed to maintain real-time access to the primary channels, both to ensure accountability and enable immediate community notification when situations broadly impact public safety
