Leavenworth police temporarily stopped sending officers on non-emergency calls Wednesday as they dealt with a radio communications problem, a police spokesman said.
“At no point did we lose the ability to handle 911 calls,” said Maj. Dan Nicodemus, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.
He said officers had to switch to an alternate radio channel for a period of time. He said the police were back to normal within an hour.
He said the problem with a radio frequency was blamed on a malfunctioning console at a backup dispatch location.
The problem began around 1 p.m. Wednesday.
