In an effort to help impact motor vehicle accidents, intoxicated driving and deter overserving, the Lincoln Police Department will be conducting a special detail on Wednesday, March 17th, 2021. The objective is to reduce the number of motor vehicle accidents and DWI violations while helping to promote responsible sales & service of alcoholic beverages in licensed liquor establishments throughout the city.
Extra officers will be added to each of Lincoln’s five geographic police teams. These officers will be conducting alcohol compliance checks at various licensed liquor establishments in each team area. When that detail is complete, the officers will conduct a high visibility traffic enforcement with emphasis placed on traffic and DWI violations.
The Nebraska Office of Highway Safety is providing funding for the extra officers participating in this detail. It is our hope that, by conducting this special detail, we can help reduce the number of traffic accidents and intoxicated drivers while promoting responsible sales & service of alcoholic beverages.
