Daily Breakdown
Wednesday, April 30, 2025
Hey everybody,
We will not be discussing the Minnesota Wild in the newsletter today. It hurts too much. What I will tell you is that, after today, you will only be getting four more newsletters from yours truly. I’m sure a few of you just sighed with relief, but don’t get ahead of yourself! They haven’t taken me behind the dumpsters of the Daily parking lot and put me out to pasture yet!
If you scroll down, you’ll find some news we have crafted in a laboratory for your ideal viewing pleasure. We used test tubes and beakers and what-not and created a readability purity so high that it would be impossible for you to read one of those articles and not be completely sucked into their content. Don’t believe me? Take a look for yourself.
Take it easy,
Spencer White | Editor-in-Chief | [email protected]

Updated every 30 minutes, the dashboard will show calls made to Minneapolis police, fire and Behavioral Crisis Response officials.
by Katrina Bailey | Published April 30, 2025
The City of Minneapolis announced a new 911 Emergency Incidents Dashboard to keep the public informed about emergencies, just as the police department plans to encrypt its radios.
The dashboard will feature 911 calls made over the last 12 hours and their locations, as well as categorizing incidents by police, fire and Behavioral Crisis Response calls. It will be updated every 30 minutes, with 911 incidents older than 12 hours moving to a separate dashboard.
The dashboard’s creation came as the Minneapolis Police Department is set to encrypt police radios on May 1. Minneapolis 911 Director Joni Hodne said the department has tested the encrypted system for four to six hours each week for the last two weeks.
An encrypted system means police department-dispatched calls will not be heard in the City of Minneapolis on the radio. Minneapolis Fire Department dispatched calls will still be heard.
“The dramatic rise in the use of social media and scanner apps to track first responders jeopardizes emergency response operations and can lead to the spread of incomplete, inaccurate, or unsubstantiated information,” the city said in a statement. “This can cause safety concerns for first responders and the public. Encrypting communication helps ensure City compliance while providing additional safety for emergency responders and community members.”
