A MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF
CHIEF TOM CASADY
Mayor Beutler,
City Council members,
Fellow citizens
I am pleased to submit the Lincoln Police Department’s Annual Report for 2009. This report contains a wealth of
statistical information and commentary about the department’s activities in 2009, and contributes to an excellent archive
from previous decades.
During 2009, the declining crime rate in Lincoln continued, and we enjoyed some unprecedented successes. Most
notably, the department’ clearance rate—the percentage of FBI Part 1 crimes solved—climbed to its highest level on
record. For the second straight year, we set a new record for DWI arrests, largely the result of energetic enforcement
activities and hard work by our officers.
One of our obligations is to be good stewards of the funds provided to us by the taxpayers. As the largest general-fund
tax supported agency in City government, we have a particularly important role in ensuring that citizens received good
value for their investment. We led a transition to performance-based budgeting in the City, and once again operated
under budget despite trying economic challenges in local government.
As the first decade of the 21
st
Century ends, the pace of change in policing seems inevitably to increase. Lincoln continues
to grow, new issues of crime and disorder arise, and new challenges confront us. Our ability to adapt to change both
externally and within the department will continue to be a key to our success.
I want to thank the citizens of Lincoln and our elected officials for providing us with the guidance and resources to
accomplish our mission, and our employees for their commitment to provide police services that promote a safe and
secure community.
Sincerely,
Thomas K. Casady

M ISSION, VALUES AND GOALS
T HE YEAR IN REVIEW
JANUARY
 Sixteen year old, Ruach Tang, was arrested for a series of disturbing burglaries dating back to
August 2008. In each case, he would sneak into a bedroom of the home to watch and/or touch
women while they slept.
 Alaina Beasley accidently shot by her husband, Joshua Beasley, in their home. The shotgun fired
while they were pretending to clear the house for an intruder. Joshua Beasley was charged with
Manslaughter.
F
EBRUARY
 Daniel Snyder committed a weekend crime spree that included three auto thefts, attacking one man with a pipe and chasing another person with
a knife. He was lodged for eight criminal counts with a bond set at $1 million. He was later sentenced 20-40 years.
M
ARCH
 Nathan Johns was found in his apartment, with obvious stab wounds. He did not survive the injuries. Marvin Carias was later identified in video
surveillance images at a nearby convenience store. He had been in the store just prior to the homicide. Carias was arrested for 1st degree
Murder and later sentenced to 30-50 years.
 Earl Russell, an escapee from State Community Corrections, fled from officers, but was involved in an accident. As officers approached, he
threatened them with a knife. Russell was subsequently shot and fatally wounded.
A
PRIL
 Four Omaha residents were arrested for a string of at least 50 burglaries in Northeast and South Lincoln. The group would enter through an
attached garage while the residents slept, often stealing wallets and purses left near the door.
 Just six minutes following a robbery at Union Bank, Geoffery Essay was in custody for the crime. An alert citizen provided a description of the
get-away car and Ofc. Brian Ward spotted it just a few blocks away. The stolen cash was recovered—still in Essay’s pocket.
M
AY
 Armon Dixon was lodged for the Robbery and Sexual Assault that occurred at Casey's General Store in March and for a Sexual
Assault at an apartment in April. During the May 12th interview, he attempted to escape by grabbing Inv. Golden’s handgun. A
struggle ensued and Dixon was again taken in to custody. As a result, he was also arrested for Attempted Escape, 3rd degree
Assault on an Officer and Attempted 1st degree Assault.
 Ana Bredemeier arrested after a year long investigation that led Inv. Koenig Warnke and Sgt. Kubicek to Mexico. Bredemeier
exploited an 89-year old widow of more than $70,000. Inv. Koenig-Warnke was also selected as the 2008 Mayor’s Award of
Excellence winner for her dedication and commitment to the case.
J
UNE
 In May and June, Lincoln Police and Fire Inspectors investigated 10 cases of arson involving Molotov cocktails. Those cases remain
unsolved.
T HE YEAR IN REVIEW
JULY
 Tracy Milbourn responsible for setting three vacant homes on fire over a two day period. These homes, in the area of 20th & R
Streets, were set to be razed as part of the Antelope Valley Project.

to the leg. Falcon was also lodged for an unrelated 2008 1st degree sexual assault of a 7 year old girl.
O
CTOBER
 Dallas Huston was arrested for Assisting Suicide based on his involvement in the September asphyxiation death of his boyfriend,
Ryan Johnson. Evidence obtained through subsequent interviews led the County Attorney’s Office to upgrade the charges to 2nd
degree Murder.
 Nathan Kuhn was killed after his friend, Chance Paap, was negligently handling a firearm. Paap initially panicked and fled the state.
He returned to Lincoln 4 days later and reported the death to Lincoln Police. Paap was arrested for Manslaughter.
N
OVEMBER
 Officers from the Northwest and Traffic Teams were able to move back into their offices after being displaced since May. Mold
discovered in that area of the building led to extensive eradication and repair.
 Lisa Ramirez Rodriguez reported to her neighbor that she just killed someone and needed help. Officers found her boyfriend,
Christopher Grant, in their apartment with a fatal stab wound to his chest. Ramirez Rodriguez was
arrested at the scene for 1st degree Assault and Use of a Weapon to Commit a Felony.
D
ECEMBER
 Four people arrested in a “Chop Shop” investigation that involved dismantling stolen Ford F350 trucks
for their parts. A West O Street body shop, Kustom Auto, owned by Justin Couch, was a store front for
the illegal operation.
 Lincoln Police ended the year by setting a new record for DWI arrests at 2,330. The new record
eclipsed the old one of 2,253 just set in 2008. Prior to that, the record of 1,992 stood for 34 years,
since 1974.
E XEMPLARY PROGRAM
C RIMESTOPPERS
In 2009, Lincoln/Lancaster County Crimestoppers underwent a radical makeover. With the
proliferation of video surveillance systems, an increasing number of crimes are captured on camera.
In many cases, the crimes are captured with high-quality photos. We recognized the need to give the
public access to images of unidentified suspects. For years, we simply posted the still photos on
bulletin boards inside the police station and at the jail. Officers would periodically review the photos
in an attempt to identify the suspects. At times, the method proved successful. However, we
thought giving access to the 250,000 sets of eyes in Lincoln would be far better than keeping the
images to ourselves.
In May, the Crimestoppers blog made its debut. Shortly thereafter, a Lincoln Crimestoppers facebook
page was also created. Both access points quickly became popular. In November alone, the blog had
6,515 visits. Several posts resulted in multiple tips identifying the subject. One man was identified by
six separate people who viewed his photo using a stolen credit card. We had another tipster who
identified her supervisor as the shoplifter, and a mother who singled out her son as the subject in a
theft and fraud. In a number of cases, the citizens even include a snapshot of the suspect.
Also in the spring, Captain Doug Srb launched TipSoft software for handling Crimestoppers tips. Tipsoft is a Text-a-Tip application which allows
tipsters to anonymously submit information via text messaging. This service allows text messaging informants to remain anonymous by encrypting
the text messages and routing them through several secure servers, protecting the personal details of the informant. The popularity of text
messaging has created a significant opportunity for the public to help law enforcement agencies fight crime. TipSoft also allows police to respond
by text message to the originating cell phone without ever knowing the identity of the individual who left the tip. The user’s information is always
given an alias and a unique ID before being sent. This secure application allows the tipster and the investigator to have two-way dialog while
always keeping the user’s identity completely anonymous. With this new software, informants now have the
option to talk, text or type a tip.
The software also gives Lincoln Police access to the tips immediately after they are received. The delay in
entering data has been completely eliminated. This allows quicker follow-up and the ability to promptly
route tips to the correct team. In turn, officers and team detectives have better chances of clearing the
cases.
It has now become more difficult to get away with these crimes in Lincoln, and there is no doubt that
Crimestoppers is impacting both our crime rate and clearance rate. Today’s technology and the digital
beadcrumbs that we leave behind everyday have established a new arena for police to capture evidence.
The technology has been created, now it’s up to us it to our advantage.
E XEMPLARY PROGRAM
S TEEP REDUCTION IN PARTY COMPLAINTS
One of the more common calls the Lincoln Police Department responds to on Thursday night through Sunday
morning is a party disturbance. The typical complaint involves someone who has kids, a job, or a Friday morning class
who isn't nearly as interested in the shenanigans going on upstairs or next door as the partiers who are regaling the
neighborhood with the inflated tales of their prowess at 3:00 a.m.
We have had some strategies in place for the past few years to try to reduce the number of these complaints, and to
prevent "party houses" from damaging the livability of fragile neighborhoods in our city. These strategies have primarily
involved ramping up enforcement, and identifying and engaging landlords in helping to solve the problems being
caused by certain tenants who could care less about their neighborhood--or their guests. While there is still an
unending supply of disturbances, the strategies have actually helped reduce some of these problems.
In 2005, our five patrol teams started working more assertively with landlords and property managers. Most landlords
are responsible and want to help reduce any problems caused by their tenants. Most landlords are quite helpful and
supportive. We discovered that a key problem involves communication: landlords simply don’t know what the police
know about the events occurring at their property. By educating landlords, and making information available to them
about police dispatches, an important ally can be engaged in resolving problems at a specific residence or apartment
complex.
This strategy has been an important contributing factor to the decline. Supervisors are holding landlords and property
owners’ feet-to-the-fire, and getting them engaged in resolving problems at some of the chronic addresses. Their collective
actions have contributed to a drop in 800 calls for service disturbance complaints over the past five years. Cutting down
on these complaints not only helps out the affected neighborhoods, it saves some substantial police resources, as well.
This represents a huge workload reduction when you consider that at least two officers had to be dispatched to each call.
There would have been several that included resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer. How many trips to the
emergency room or to Internal Affairs emerge from 800 wild party calls? How many thefts, robberies, fights, assaults,
sexual assaults, drunk driving arrests occur at or as the result of 800 parties that have gotten to the point where the
neighbors have called the police? We certainly have many examples of this collateral damage.
Particularly gratifying is the drop in chronic problems at the same place. The number of repeat calls to houses has fallen by
71% in the past five years. These are some outstanding results, and reflect good police work behind some proven
strategies that have been particularly effective. Nothing wrong with a party, as long as illegal activity isn't occurring and if it
doesn't disturb the peace of the rest of the neighborhood.

Q UALITY SERVICE AUDIT
Since 1993, the Lincoln Police Department has been participating in a survey to gauge citizen satisfaction with
the delivery of police services. The Quality Service Audit was developed in conjunction with Gallup, Inc. and it
continues to be a valuable tool for both officers and administrators. Officers hired after 1991 are designated as
participants in the survey and receive feedback from citizens on their performance. The QSA is a telephone
survey which is conducted by student interns and recruit officers. Contact is made with citizens who have had
a recent police contact, whether they are a crime victim or the recipient of a traffic ticket. A sample of survey
questions and the responses are listed below from the 2,591 surveys which were administered in 2009.
QUESTIONS YES NO
Did the officer seem to know what he or she was doing? 93.7% 3.8%
Did the officer listen to your side of the story or your point of view? 85.7% 10.2%
Were you treated with dignity when the officer approached you? 91.8% 4.5%
Do you feel you were treated fairly? 87.6% 8.7%
Was the behavior of the officer professional in every way? 92.0% 4.5%
Was the officer considerate of your feelings during the contact? 86.2% 8.9%
Did the officer say he would contact you again, or do something to follow up with the case? 50.3% 49.7%
Did the officer recontact you as promised? 68.4% 30.8%
Did the officer introduce himself to you? 87.1% 12.9%
Did the officer explain the citation and the steps you must take to comply with the law, 55.3% 44.7%
or educate you in any way about the law?
How safe and secure do you feel in the neighborhood where you live?
always unsafe and not secure 2.2%
usually unsafe and not secure 4.2%
safe and secure sometimes 12.1%
safe and secure most of the time 39.1%
always safe and secure 36.6%
How would you rate the officer’s overall performance in this situation?
outstanding 36.4%
above average 30.3%
average 22.7%
below average 3.3%

OUKUP
Across the course of 2009, the Center Team Officers were involved in a variety
of enforcement efforts, some of which resulted in a 38% increase in DWI arrests
over 2008. The number of injury accidents reduced, also.
The Center Team was also involved in many community partnerships, including
some grassroots efforts to impact problem residential properties and areas. In
the Team area there was a reduction in Part I crimes, which included decreases
in Robbery, Assaults, Sex Offenses, Auto Theft, and Vandalism.
The Center Team Officers were also responsible for a variety of large events
including Nebraska Home Football Game traffic details, Celebrate Lincoln,
Farmer's Market, Jazz in June, Star City Holiday Parade, and a variety of Lincoln
Community events drawing large crowds. Its a challenge getting up to 85,000+
people back on their way home after a Husker game. Yet, we consistently
return to normal traffic patterns in under an hour. It takes a great deal of
planning and coordination with great partners such as Lincoln Public Works,
Traffic Engineering Division.
If you are living in or visiting the area "Downtown", know that there is a
fantastic group of officers at the 27th and Holdrege, Center Team Station,
dedicated to service and keeping you safe. 2010 promises to be a great year
with continued development in the Antelope Valley, a new Matt Talbot Kitchen,
new &/or familiar restaurant and entertainment venues, special events, and
plenty to do. Have a great stay in Lincoln's "Center Team."

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.

This year was highlighted by a productive collaboration between the Northwest, Southwest and Southeast
Teams on a multiphase Problem Oriented Policing Project, which focused on arresting individuals with
outstanding warrants who resided in the three team areas. Another phase of the POP Project was traffic
Saturation Detail. Team Investigators from each team were tasked with organizing and coordinating
street personnel, in addition to the SWAT and Canine Units. Sergeants Barrett, Kennett and Fehringer’s
warrant project garnered positive results. The arrest/contact teams made 59 misdemeanor warrant
arrests, 1 felony arrest and attempted 265 warrants total. Members of the contact teams also executed
traffic stops issuing 40 official and 61 warning citations for a variety of violations. They also made arrests
for misdemeanor drug and alcohol offenses.
To continue the theme of collaborative efforts, Officer Ortiz assisted an officer from Chatsworth, Georgia
Police Department on an internet stalking case. Officer Ortiz was notified that the suspect had a warrant
and was possibly staying at a local hotel. Without haste Officer Ortiz completed the necessary follow-up
activities and did in fact locate and arrest the party. In the aftermath, the officer from Georgia
commended Officer Ortiz for making him feel like he was a member of the “team” even though he is
policing in another state. Officer Ortiz exemplified the “can do” attitude of not only the Northwest Team
Officers but the entire Lincoln Police Department.
Mother Nature threw us a curve ball this year during the scheduled July 3rd Uncle Sam Jam Celebration at
Oak Lake Park. The rains came causing the event to be postponed to July 5
th
the rain out date. Sergeants
Stan Kubicek, Bob Ziemer, Chad Barrett, Tom Ward and Bill Kuhlman quickly put their heads together
and developed a workable officer staffing schedule, to handle the crowd and traffic. However, Sunday
ended up being one of those days when the stars collided, the citizens descended on Oak Lake in
droves. Thanks to the cooperation by sergeants and officers citywide, the event went off without a hitch.
Officer Mark Fluitt took part in the security detail for the Special Olympics National Invitational Golf
and Softball Tournament held at the Highlands Golf Facility. This event served as a test run for the
procedures that will be used during the 2010 Special Olympics Games in Lincoln.
Officer’s Matt Stegman and Megan Riffey focused their efforts in the Stonebridge Neighborhood, by
developing several POP Projects to address neighborhood concerns of parking and ongoing neighborhood
disturbances. Officer Stegman met with residents and landlords at the Eiseley Library, presenting
information that ultimately helped to decrease the disturbance problems in the neighborhood.
At years end, through their diligence and hard work, officers of the Northwest Team completed sound
investigations, resulting in a Part I crimes clearance rate that was consistently above the team goal
clearance percentage of 23%. Which was a job well done.

C APTAIN KIM KOLUCH
Each year, Southeast Team Officers work to identify problems within the team and then
develop long term solutions to improve the quality of life for our citizenry. The following
are a few examples of such work:
Abandoned vehicles are a blighting influence and a neighborhood problem that never
completely goes away, inevitably as we remove one vehicle from our list, another gets
added. With that in mind Officers Mike Holm and Steve Wherry coordinated projects in the
summer of 2009 to address abandoned vehicles on the Southeast Team. Their combined
efforts resulted in identifying 62 vehicles in violation of the City’s “Junk Vehicle” ordinance.
Through personal contacts and violator education all 62 vehicles were dealt with through
compliance with the ordinance or enforcement. This is a great example of a project that can
have an immediate, direct impact on a neighborhood.
The Southeast Team has twenty-seven large apartment complexes which generate a
multitude of calls for service. Apartment complex managers want to be kept in the loop
about what is occurring at their facilities and getting this information to them in a timely
fashion helps us to reduce repeat calls. Officers Lacey Schwochow, Steve Standley, Chassidy
Jackson and Michael Wambold initiated a project to educate the managers about Crime
Alerts and other online tools available at LPD’s web site
to aid them in knowing more about
their tenant’s activities. All 27 complexes were contacted and feedback about the available
services was very positive.
Southeast Team officers responded to over a thousand false alarms last year, many of which
were at locations with multiple responses. In September, in an effort to decrease the
amount of police resources being used on false alarms, Sergeants Ed Sheridan and Ann
Heermann developed a project to reduce false alarm responses. Locations with three or
more alarms since the beginning of the year were identified, triggering a personal visit at
those locations. The aim was to determine if there was a common cause for the alarms such
as, mechanical failure, employee errors and then come up with a plan to correct the cause,
thus reducing false alarm responses. The last four months of 2009 showed a 5% decrease in
alarm responses as a result of this project, freeing up valuable resources to work on other
problems.
Officers of the Southeast Team look forward to another year of serving its citizens through
joint problem solving and collaboration. If you have questions or concerns about your
neighborhood please contact Captain Kim Koluch at 441-7755.

The Southwest Team enjoyed another very productive and demanding year in 2009. Improving
quality of life issues in our fragile neighborhoods was once again a top priority in 2009. The Southwest
Team handled a department high 29,667 calls for service, arrested a department high 536 DWI’s, and
were able to increase misdemeanor and narcotics arrests while reducing accidents on the team. In
2008, the Southwest Team implemented a project to focus on a specific area on the team that was
experiencing a high amount of criminal activity. The success of the project led to expanding the
project to include another fragile neighborhood. The officers continued to impact problem properties
by working with landlords and neighborhood groups to alleviate problems.
The Southwest Team is committed to the community it serves and the staff is very involved in
community events. Southwest Team personnel are fixtures at neighborhood association meetings
keeping the citizens informed of the issues affecting their community. As a result of this interaction,
neighborhood leaders are comfortable in contacting officers directly to immediately resolve issues that
arise before the issues become entrenched.
Southwest personnel participated in several neighborhood cookouts in 2009 where officers literally
served the community. Officers participated in the Everett Festival, Biketacular, and National Night
Out. These positive interactions with the community build trust and allow the citizens to see police
personnel as members of the community and not just faceless symbols of local government. Members
of the Southwest Team serve on many boards and committees and participate in numerous
community fund-raising efforts. Members of the Southwest Team serve on boards of the Willard
Community Center, “F” Street Recreation Center, The Gathering Place, Youth Services/Detention
Center, Free to Grow, and several mental health boards. Southwest Officers are also involved with
the Special Olympics, Big Brothers Big Sisters, and the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
In the spring of 2009, Lincoln experienced a spree of thefts from vehicles at trailhead parking lots in
city parks. On May 10
th
(Mothers Day), Sergeant Bassett and Officer Rich Fitch set up an undercover
detail at the Jamaica Trailhead and were able to arrest two individuals that were breaking into vehicles
in the parking lot. Southwest Team Detective Tim Kennett followed up with the original arrests and
was able to clear 150 cases that involved burglaries, larcenies from auto, and fraud cases. This was a
great example of officers identifying a problem and impacting the problem. This is just one example of
the great work that the officers assigned to the Southwest Team do on a daily basis.
The men and women of the Southwest Team are very committed to serving the citizens of Lincoln. It
is a pleasure to work with the dedicated Sergeants, Officers, and the Public Service Officer. We look
forward to another year filled with many challenges and the opportunity to dramatically change the
quality of life in these valued and historic neighborhoods.

The K-9 Unit had a very productive year in 2009. The K-9 Unit was utilized 405 times which included 154 tracks,
157 narcotics searches, 70 building/other searches, and 24 SWAT deployments. The police service dogs were
responsible for 141 misdemeanor arrests, 59 felony arrests, and they located one suicidal person. The narcotics
that the police service dogs located had a street value over $35,000 and they also located and recovered over
$66,000 in currency.
In March of 2009, a masked man wearing latex gloves grabbed an employee of Casey’s General Store from
behind as she arrived for work and robbed and sexually assaulted her. The person responsible for the sexual
assault and robbery fled from the store on foot. Officer Jeff Urkevich and Police Service Dog, Jake, tracked the
individual from the store for several blocks and located the cash stolen during the robbery and a condom that was
used during the sexual assault. The condom was tested and the DNA from the victim and the person responsible
were found on the condom. This key piece of evidence led to the arrest and conviction of Armon Dixon for first
degree sexual assault and armed robbery.
In 2009, the K-9 Unit was given approval to add one additional K-9. Many qualified candidates put in the coveted
position and after an extensive selection process Officer Nikki Loos was selected to become the newest member
of the K-9 unit. In October K-9 Officer John Clarke and Officer Loos traveled to New Market, Alabama to select
a police service dog for Officer Loos. The officers put several K-9s through selections tests and ultimately
selected “Dexter”, a two year old male Belgian Malinois, to be Officer Loos’ partner. In the fall, Officer Loos and
Dexter attended an 11 week training session at the Nebraska State Patrol’s Training Center. Dexter is the 44
th
dog to serve in the Lincoln Police Department’s K-9 Unit.
