Lincoln Police says officers from their Southeast Team wrote 100 citations during an enhanced traffic enforcement project in June. Officers worked overtime to focus on areas with high incidents of traffic crashes.
“The Southeast Team responds to the largest number of reported crashes in Lincoln,” says Public Information Manager “This project allowed officers to work on days off and for others to work outside of their normal shifts to address the times where traffic crashes are at their peak.”
Officers made 89 traffic stops and among the 100 citations issued were 48 for speeding. There were also 19 citations for no registration, five for no insurance and four for no seatbelts. The project was funded through a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office.
