Emergency calls
Equipment failures prevented Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical from transmitting emergency calls Monday to the Journal-World.

The Journal-World does not print accounts of all police reports filed. The newspaper generally reports:
¢ Burglaries, only with a loss of $1,000 or more, unless there are unusual circumstances. To protect victims, we generally don’t identify them by name.
¢ The names and circumstances of people arrested, only after they are charged.
¢ Assaults and batteries, only if major injuries are reported.
¢ Holdups and robberies.
