The Lincoln Police Department was recognized by MADD Nebraska for helping to combat drunk and drugged driving in Lincoln. Great work by so many LPD officers! We learned that Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) Officer Sara Genoways was the first female in Nebraska to receive the MADD Outstanding DRE award in 2017. Officer Genoways was again honored in 2018 for her expertise and hard work keeping Lincoln safe! Brett from Channel 8 KLKN TV spoke to Officer Genoways and will talk more about this tonight at 10pm!

The Lincoln Police Department is accepting applications for the position of Police Officer until June 8th! We told Officer Bonkiewicz he had to do a hiring Q&A but he was surprised to learn we decided to include ALL questions we received on social media. Stay tuned for more, it gets worse! But we did learn a PTSD diagnosis is NOT an automatic disqualification. #LNK #NowHiring #JoinLPD @JoinLPD.com
