Nebraska Attorney General Mike Hilgers joined numerous leaders and statewide organizations to announce the launch of a new website designed to help recruit talent for law enforcement and prosecution offices across Nebraska.
Hilgers says the website — SecureTheGoodLife.Nebraska.gov — was the result of roundtable discussions last year with law enforcement and county attorneys across the state. During these meetings, Hilgers says many agencies expressed challenges in recruiting across Greater Nebraska.
“People are craving the opportunity for professional and personal fulfillment, where they can make a difference and spend quality time with their families or in the outdoors. Serving in law enforcement in Greater Nebraska is a great way to do both,” said Hilgers during a Thursday news conference. “The Secure the Good Life site will help elevate their stories and show others how they can do it too. This effort will be an important part of our strategic, statewide effort to recruit the next generation of law enforcement professionals.”
This website presents testimonies from officers and attorneys serving communities in Greater Nebraska. Secure The Good Life also links to available job openings in law enforcement and prosecution careers through the Nebraska Crime Commission and the Nebraska County Attorneys Association.
“Nebraska is working to get the word out that we’re the best place in the nation to work as a law enforcement officer,: said Nebraska Congressman Mike Flood in a statement. “Recruiting the next generation of peace officers will take all hands on deck, and this Secure the Good Life initiative is a great step towards achieving this goal.”
