Mayor Beutler,

City Council members,

Fellow citizens,

"I am pleased to submit the annual report of the Lincoln Police Department for 2010, as required by

Lincoln Municipal Code 10.06.060. This report contains data and information about the department ’ s

activities during the year, and serves as an historical resource as part of an archive of police annual

reports dating to 1941.

During 2010, the department faced challenging economic conditions the effected municipal government

nationwide. We dealt with this by prioritizing our many responsibilities, so that those duties most closely related to safety and security

remained our focus. Though not without pain, the cuts necessitated by these realities were absorbed without impacting our co re mission.

In many respects, Lincoln is in an enviable position compared to other cities in the United States, though we all look forward to a continuing

economic recovery.

C H I E F C A S A D Y

1974

The 2010 Census revealed Lincoln ’ s population to be 258,379. The City grew by more than 32,000 during

the decade, and there is no sign of this slowing down. Growth will continue to present both challenges and

opportunities to the police department. In addition to population growth, a number of future developments

are unfolding that will have long term implications, such as the continued annexation of additional land, the

development of a new sports Arena, the emergence of a variety of technological initiatives, and several new

commercial projects in the downtown area. These will be driving forces during the coming decade.

Within this Annual Report are some descriptions of remarkable accomplishments by the men and women

of the Lincoln Police Department. It is an honor to serve with such a fine group of individuals, who are

committed to working with all people to provide services that promote a safe and secure community."

JANUARY

Dexter began his career as our newest police service dog. His handler, Ofc. Loos, was selected

as the department ’ s 5 th handler to allow more coverage throughout the city.

FEBRUARY

Joseph Ballard, a long time Lincoln coach, was arrested for 1 st degree Sexual Assault of a Child

after a teen disclosed that he had been abused by Ballard for six years. Other arrests followed

as more victims came forward, reporting similar abuse.

MARCH

Carter Vetter, a 22 month old child, was found unresponsive and later died at a Lincoln hospital.

The autopsy showed that he did not die of natural causes. An extensive investigation followed

and concluded with the arrest of Micheal Wills, Carter’ s caregiver just prior to his death.

The Lincoln/Lancaster Narcotics Task Force made a significant impact on the local drug trade as

they investigated a sophisticated marijuana grow operation. Over 8,000 plants were seized, worth

$14 -$21 million, with warrants served at more than 16 residences. Thirteen men were federally

indicted or charged in state court.

APRIL

A group cleaning the area of SW 2nd & West South Streets discovered human skeletal remains

underneath the east side of the bridge that crosses over Salt Creek. In April, a forensic odontologist

was able to identify the deceased as 57 year old transient Gary Roth. The case was classified as an

unnatural death based on damage to the bones. By year end, no arrest had been made.

MAY

In less than two hours, Joel Delamora-Reyes was taken into custody for an armed robbery at US Bank.

It was the first of two bank robberies that occurred in Lincoln in 2010.

JUNE

Members of the SWAT Team, Canine Unit, Southwest, Southeast and Northwest Teams, conducted a

large scale arrest warrant detail. The organized effort was to help reduce the high volume of arrest

warrants in Lincoln. The detail proved successful with 271 warrants attempted and 58 warrants served.

JULY

Nearly 3,000 athletes converged in Lincoln to compete in the Special Olympics 2010 National

Games. The Final Leg Torch Run rallied support across Nebraska the week before the July 18 th

opening ceremony. During the week-long competition, over 75 past and present LPD employees

volunteered their time to support the athletes and help to make the games a success.

AUGUST

New navy blue uniforms were unveiled and will slowly replace the French blue shirts and pants

with matching stripe running down the leg. The last uniform make -over was in 1976.

SEPTEMBER

Adjustments made to staffing as September 17th marked the day that bars in Lincoln could

stay open one hour longer, until 2am.

On September 25th, LPD participated in the nationwide Prescription Drug Take -Back Day

sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Administration ( DEA ) . Citizens exceeded expectations

and turned over 587 pounds of drugs.

O CTOBER

Excellent police work paid off as Michael Boston was arrested for three armed robberies

that occurred at Lincoln businesses within just two weeks of one another.

Chief Casady inducted into POAN Hall of Fame. The last law enforcement figure to be induct-

ed was National Crime Commission director and former police Chief Allen Curtis in 2003.

A team of CALEA assessors completed a successful on-site accreditation assessment,

examining all aspects of our policies and procedures, management, operations, and support

services.

DECEMBER

William Pereira arrested for 1 st degree Murder and Use of a Weapon to Commit a Felony in

the brutal murder of his girlfriend, Alissa Magoon. The next day, while incarcerated at the jail,

At the Lincoln Police Department, officers are often afforded opportunities to conduct goal-oriented projects.

These can be special details or Problem Oriented Policing ( POP ) Projects. This form of community

policing is designed to impact unique or repetitive issues by implementing specific strategies to target the

problem. The Lincoln Police Department tries to be proactive and stay aware of developing crime trends

within the city. In 2010, there were two projects that stood out among the rest.

On the Northwest Team, Officers Jennings and Ortiz spent the summer months in plain clothes, monitoring

areas with a large amount of transient activity. One of the primary goals was to reduce more serious crimes

occurring in eight identified districts. Near 1st and O Streets, business owners complained that, despite

signs and request to leave their properties, transients lingered, passed out and left behind large quantities

trash. Citizen complaints centered around illegal activity on the bike trails, including drinking, fighting and

morals violations. The officers adjusted their hours and trudged through heavily wooded areas to locate

transient camps. Through that summer, temperatures were in excess of 90 degrees, with matching humidity, as they battled ticks and mosquitoes. The more

their presence became known and word spread about their methods ( full black clothing at night, use of binoculars, hiding in dense ground cover ) , people

became more reluctant to commit crimes in these areas. At the conclusion of the project, in six of the eight areas targeted, calls for service decreased. In

addition, the officers cleared thirty-eight warrants and issued 159 citations for on-view violations. Fewer burglaries, robberies and sexual assaults were reported

than the previous year. Officers Jennings and Ortiz grabbed an opportunity to work with a group that is often times forgotten and left unchecked. Through their

observations, the project illustrated a need for more plain clothes work with plans to continue these efforts in the future.

During a three month period, Officers D. Moore and A. Ripley, were assigned to the Northeast Team as plain clothes investigators.

Their primary task was to investigate Crime Stoppers tips received through TipSoft. In May 2009, the Lincoln/Lancaster County

Crime Stoppers website underwent a radical make-over. More photos were made available to the public and Captain Srb

launched TipSoft software, making it easier for citizens to provide information to law enforcement. The software gives Lincoln

Police access to the tips immediately after they are received. This allows quicker follow-up and increased chances of clearing

cases. With these changes, tips skyrocketed. Officers and detectives had trouble following up on the increased influx of

information. During the course of their assignment, Officers Moore and Ripley spent a great deal of time making contacts and

cultivating informants. This attention to detail led to felony arrests, narcotics arrests and the generation of multiple warrants. In

total, they made twenty-three felony arrests, forty-three misdemeanor arrests, fourteen warrant arrests and cleared fifty-one

Crime Stoppers tips. Several of their arrests were for high profile crimes pictured on the Crime Stoppers website, including a

convenience store burglary. Their tenacious work on this temporary, yet very productive project, did not go unrecognized.

E X E M P L A R Y P R O G R A M

Lincoln citizens were greeted with change this year as the outward appearance of the Lincoln Police

Department started phasing in new uniforms and new cruiser graphics. After a great deal of consideration,

our Uniform Task Force made recommendations to adopt a solid navy blue uniform. In 2009, we started

issuing trousers absent the French blue stripe running down the leg. That stripe had adorned the uniform

for close to 60 years. Losing the stripe made a few other trouser styles more practical, particularly those

with auxiliary side pockets — a popular option given the amount of gear officers carry. The shirts were a

little tougher to phase in. We have worn the readily identifiable French blue shirts since our last uniform

makeover in 1976. In August, some officers started donning full navy blue; however, it will be close to a

year before the French blue shirts are a thing of the past. Civilian uniformed personnel were not over-

looked. They, too, were given a uniform makeover—switching from light blue shirts to navy blue polo shirts

with khaki trousers. With 321 officers and 23 other uniformed employees, a uniform switch is tough to pull

overnight. Gradually, as new orders are placed, we will all be in the new styles and colors.

For about a year, we had been mulling over an update to our patrol cars ’ graphics. Over the

decades, we have had many different designs. The last time the scheme was refreshed was in

1996, when we abandoned the two-tone paint job in favor of a decal set that has changed very

slightly in the past 14 years. Our first attempt at a new look was internal. Some of our own

personnel put some thoughts on paper, and we had a couple of cars made-up with the results.

The results--while good--were, well, not entirely inspirational. Picking up on an idea that we

jumped on for redesigning our recruitment materials, we turned to the University of Nebraska for

help. Assistant Chief Jim Peschong contacted Professor Ron Bartels, who teaches GRPH 421,

Advanced Graphic Design. His class took us on as a semester project, and presented their

portfolios. The students blew us away with their concepts and execution. It was difficult to decide which graphic to select. We conducted an internal poll, and

asked for employees to share the opinions. Ultimately, Aaron Jarzynka ’ s clean, modern design was selected. Several cruisers have been outfitted with the

new graphic. As new cars are purchased, they will be fashioned with the design as well.

The Quality Service Audit was developed in conjunction with Gallup, Inc. and it continues to be a valuable tool for both offi cers and administrators.

Officers hired after 1991 are designated as participants in the survey and receive feedback from citizens on their performanc e. The QSA is a

telephone survey which is conducted by student interns and recruit officers. Contact is made with citizens who have had a re cent police contact,

whether they are a crime victim or the recipient of a traffic ticket. A sample of survey questions and the responses are lis ted below from the 3,360

surveys which were administered in 2010.
