During 2009, the Northeast Police Team strived to deliver quality police
service to the area, while at the same time maintaining a community oriented
approach based on relationships with citizens. Input from the community
remains important to the team, and helps to guide the activities of the
officers assigned here.
The Northeast Team hasn’t forgotten the more traditional aspects of the
police role. Traffic safety was emphasized by the team during the past year.
Northeast Team officers wrote more citations (official and warning) during
fiscal 2009 than any of the other geographic police teams. Arrests for drunk
driving were also up nearly 34% from the previous year. This increase in
traffic enforcement was in response to concerns and requests from individuals
and citizen groups in the Northeast area and resulted in a lower accident rate
for the fiscal year.
Contrary to what might be expected, criminal investigations did not suffer last
fiscal year in spite of aggressive traffic enforcement. A “part I crime”
clearance rate of nearly 37% helped drive the occurrence of such crimes
down significantly in Northeast Lincoln. Drug arrests were also increased
during the past year by almost 40%.
The Northeast Police Team continues to move forward, providing law
enforcement and problem solving for community members as well as
development and opportunity for the officers who serve them. 2010 will
almost certainly hold unforeseen challenges that will require that we
continue to stretch and adapt.
