Lubbock's public safety radio carried 838 incidents that IncidentTrack could identify in August 2026, across 6 days of listening, an average of 140 a day. They arrived with 1954 separate transmissions, 3.9 hrs of audio in total. Medical calls led the month at 192, and the single busiest day was Saturday, August 29 with 209.
Incidents per day. Gaps and low bars usually mean the audio feed dropped rather than that the city went quiet.
Radio traffic follows the city's day. The stretch from 5pm to 11pm carried 252 calls this month, while midnight to 6am carried 155. The single busiest hour across the month was 9pm.
House numbers are stripped before counting. Major corridors dominate because they are long, busy and easy to hear correctly on the radio.
How often each callsign was attached to an incident in August 2026. See the glossary for what the names mean.
These counts describe radio traffic, not crime. An incident here is whatever dispatchers and crews talked about on the air, in the words they used at the time. Calls handled by phone or on encrypted channels never appear, and some of what does appear turns out on arrival to be something else. 624 of this month's 838 incidents were still marked unconfirmed when they closed. Full method and limits.
