Wesely said the new applications are another step toward making government more accessible and responsive to the people it serves. Two of the enhancements involve the Lincoln Police Department. An interactive map, which will be updated twice yearly, allows citizens to see where crime has occurred in the city.
Users can focus on certain locations and specific crimes.
Another enhancement give citizens access to police accident reports on the Internet. Users can not only view and print reports, they can also look them up by date, police case number or driver's name. Channel 5 covers many events live, including meetings of the City Council, Planning Commission and County Board. Internet users will now be able to watch Channel 5 programs from their computer. More and more citizens are able to conduct their business with the city without leaving their homes or offices.
