Published on March 31, 2025

The Lincoln Police Department today released the results of a traffic enforcement project conducted March 14 through 17. Additional officers worked overtime during the weekend preceding Saint Patrick’s Day focusing on impaired driving.

During the project, officers wrote 404 traffic citations for numerous offenses including:

• 16 cited for driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
• 2 arrested for a felony DUI due to previous DUI convictions,
• 3 cited for their DUI second offense
• 1 cited for driving with a passenger under the age of 16, which is an additional charge for those who choose to drive impaired with children in their vehicle.

This enforcement project was funded by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) Highway Safety Office. LPD remains committed to reducing impaired driving and urges all motorists to make responsible choices. If you plan to drink, always arrange for a sober ride to keep Lincoln’s roads safe.
