Project Safe Neighborhoods Results
On Friday, September 18, 2009, the Lincoln Police Department conducted its fifty-ninth Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) grant detail.
Two areas of Lincoln have been identified as having a higher crime rate with a history of gun related crimes. The two identified areas, located within the Southwest Team, were the focus of the detail. Three Lincoln police officers were paired with an adult probation officer, a juvenile probation officer and a parole officer. The groups were asked to conduct home visits on individuals currently on probation and parole.

A sergeant and three LPD officers coordinated a plain clothes detail concentrating on prostitution and other sexual offenses occurring in the Southwest Team area. Meanwhile, three LPD officers were assigned to the saturation portion of the detail. The saturation detail allows officers to make a high number of contacts of individuals within the target areas. Officers on the saturation detail operate under a "zero tolerance" policy regarding neighborhood issues while on patrol in the target areas. All saturation officers were in uniform, operating marked police vehicles.
Air support for this effort was provided by Lieutenant Frank Peck of the Nebraska State Patrol Air Wing.
