Lubbock's public safety radio carried 2161 incidents that IncidentTrack could identify so far in October 2026, across 20 days of listening, an average of 108 a day. They arrived with 4572 separate transmissions, 9.9 hrs of audio in total. Medical calls led the month at 607, and the single busiest day was Friday, October 9 with 172.
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 626 calls this month, while midnight to 6am carried 449. The single busiest hour across the month was 6pm.
House numbers are stripped before counting. Major corridors dominate because they are long, busy and easy to hear correctly on the radio.

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. 917 of this month's 2161 incidents were still marked unconfirmed when they closed. Full method and limits.
