Regionally Speaking, Wednesday, November 3, 2021

Police1 website

Today:  More police across Lake County and other northwest Indiana counties will soon have a new way to identify and to keep drug-impaired drivers off the road. Devon McDonald with the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute is on "Regionally Speaking" to talk about the SoToxa handheld analyzers headed to police officers on patrol.   Side Effects Public Media reporter Farah Usury has the story of a central Indiana man who hopes that football can keep kids in school and out of trouble.  And Indiana Public Broadcasting's Brandon Smith has a report from a national nonprofit research group on the 2020 U.S. Census figures from Indiana. Indiana could've lost some federal funding if the Census had been more accurate.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
