Ofc. Soldo was working a PNL grant and made these two stops on Dodge in a 55 MPH section over the weekend. Please slow down, increased speeds cause massive increases in stopping distances and are becoming far too common.

SLOW DOWN / MOVE OVER. Saturday night, an OPD patrol officer was blocking a lane of traffic on I-80 for a hazard when the cruiser was struck by a SUV going highway speeds. Both the officer and SUV were injured. PLEASE slow down/move over near emergency vehicles.

Huge thank you to Volcanic Bikes for their donation of two new bikes to kickstart the DCSO's Bike Patrol. Volcanic Bikes is a great company, located here in Omaha, that builds tough, performance ready, and reliable bikes for law enforcement.

The DCSO Bike Patrol will operate around the Douglas County Courthouse, The Heartwood Preserve city hub area off 144th and Dodge Streets, and the various trails around unincorporated Douglas County.

🏍 Information on Electric Bikes and Off-Road Vehicles 🚲

The DCSO receives many complaints about two-wheelers commonly referred to as “electric bikes”. There can be confusion regarding their street legality. We hope to clear up the confusion with this post.

Many parents think their child’s ride is legal when it is actually not. Here’s an easy way to tell:
✅ A LEGAL electric bicycle has fully operative petals and cuts off power at a maximum of 28 miles per hour.

Many times, what people call an electric bicycle is actually an electric motorcycle or dirt bike. Those are not street or sidewalk legal. Riding of an electric motorcycle, dirt bike, or other off-road vehicle is best done on private property with the owner’s permission.

When ridden on roads or sidewalks, these types of non-street legal rides are subject to being impounded and parents of juvenile riders are subject to citations.

Thank you for helping keep our roads safe!

I-680 & Fort. Speed limit is 65. Examples of speeding vehicles that OPD Traffic ofc stopped today. Please buckle up and have a safe day.

[Sgt.Jason Menning @OPDSgtMenning]

Nice weather doesn’t mean you can ignore the speed limit. Traffic Ofc made a stop at 102&W Dodge on vehicle going 103 in 45 mph zone. Please slow down and enjoy the good weather.

DCSO is getting complaints about individuals driving mini bikes and 4 wheelers dangerously on public streets -allegedly running stop signs and driving recklessly around playing children- near 96th and Ames.

If you know who these riders are or where they live, contact the DCSO CAT Team at [email protected]
The CAT would like to CHAT.

As the weather warms, all drivers know what that means. Pothole Season is almost upon us.

Potholes aren't just a nuisance, they also present a significant road safety hazard. They can damage your vehicle, costing hundreds of dollars in repairs, or worse. Just last year we responded to a truck that caught fire after hitting a large pothole. When you come across dangerous potholes, please report them to the appropriate entity (the City, County, or State) so they are aware and will repair them. Please let us know as well, traffic safety is part of our responsibility to you. When you see a large pothole, anywhere in the county, send us the location and we will publish a listing of dangerous potholes reported to us. Fixing them is outside of DCSO control, but we want to ensure you know where they are so you can avoid them, the cost of hitting them, and stay safe on the roads.

On Saturday night, the Community Action Team partnered with the Omaha Police Traffic Unit and the Nebraska State Patrol for street racing / sideshow enforcement. Multiple individuals were arrested throughout Douglas County with assistance from the Omaha Police helicopter.

- 18 year-old Emanuel Ortega-Olivar was arrested for willful reckless driving in the area of 48th & G Street.
- 19 year-old Juan Acevedo was arrested for felony flight to avoid arrest in the area of 48th & G Street. Mr. Acevedo fled from Omaha Police and was taken into custody nearby with assistance from CAT.
- 21 year-old Andrew Holmes was arrested for willful reckless driving in the area of 118th & I Street. Mr. Holmes was also charged with child abuse for allowing a 15 year-old to hang out the window while doing donuts in the parking lot.

Another driver was cited by deputies for driving 96 mph on I-80. Finally, CAT deputies and the Omaha Traffic Unit finished the night with DUI arrests. The Nebraska State Patrol took additional dangerous drivers into custody.

Thanks to all the citizens who called 911 to allow law enforcement to "zero in" on the illegal and dangerous driving. Because of all the hard work lately, the DCSO will be taking a break from street racing enforcement on February 29th, 30th, and 31st.

All parties are presumed innocent until proven guilty. If you have more information about the driving of any of these individuals, please contact the DCSO Community Action Team at [email protected]. You may also contact Omaha Crime Stoppers at 402-444-STOP (7867) or via the P3 Tips mobile app.

Fair warning to anyone looking to engage in sideshow activity again this weekend...

You can’t see the CAT Team at your illegal sideshow… but the CAT Team can always see you 😾👀

This good old boy wandered into our parking lot this morning with no ID. He’s currently in custody.

We went for a drive to try and find his owner but so far no luck. Please call 402-444-5802 if you’re missing your dog.

Meanwhile he’s hanging with us at the West Assembly.

A reminder to be patient and expect some delays along 144th St from Maple to Harrison before and during Captain Olson’s funeral procession.

@OmahaPolice @NEStatePatrol @DCSheriffNE and @BellevuePolice will be restricting traffic along the route.

[DCSO - Omaha, NE @DCSheriffNE]

The DCSO is looking for the public 's assistance in locating the individual in this video who was hit by a vehicle at the side show the CAT Team stopped last night in the area of 135th and F Street. The vehicle that hit her was an Orange Camaro, we do have the plates and owner's information but will be withholding that to allow them the opportunity to come forward.

These sideshow events are not just 'kids' out 'having fun'. They are illegal, and they are dangerous, often involving drugs, weapons, and alcohol, not to mention the reckless driving behaviors. The CAT Team will continue to monitor and stop them whenever and wherever they spring up.

If you have any information that can help identify the individual who was hit, please contact us at either [email protected] or 402-444-6000. You can also contact @Crime at 402-444-7867 or via the P3Tips mobile app.

🚔Street Racing Arrests in Southwest Omaha 🐈

On Saturday night, multiple callers to 911 reported racers in the area of 134th & F Street. Deputies with the Community Action Team and Special Operations Group responded. Deputies quickly spotted a white Dodge Challenger and a gray BMW 335 racing on F Street.

The driver of the Dodge Challenger, 22 year-old Liam Barlow, was arrested. Mr. Barlow had a Glock handgun in his waistband and a MKE pistol also within reach. Mr. Barlow was found to be in possession of illegal drugs, which makes the firearm possession a felony.

The driver of the BMW, a 17 year-old juvenile, was cited and released for exhibition of speed and willful reckless driving. An additional suspect, 20 year-old Joshua Barragan, was cited and released for unlawful presence at a sideshow.

Both vehicles had 360 cameras attached to the rear windshield. Mr. Barlow's phone and both cameras were seized. Deputies will soon be reviewing the high-definition self-recorded evidence.

The Community Action Team is also investigating an individual who was unlawfully present at this sideshow who was struck by a vehicle doing donuts. That vehicle is known and the investigation is on-going.

Parents- These large car meet-ups are not harmless fun. As we saw on Saturday night, they almost always involve dangerous driving. They also often involve drugs, alcohol, and weapons.

All subjects are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. If you have information relating to the behavior of these individuals or the pedestrian that was struck, please reach out to us at 402-444-6000 or [email protected].

More rush hour shenanigans this morning.

Officer Austin got this guy weaving in and out of traffic on Dodge Expressway “late for work”.

Let’s make better decisions for everyone’s safety!

[Ofc. Mike Bossman @OPDOfcBossman]

Good Monday morning to everyone except this guy going 24 over with no plates and a suspended license.

And no you can’t have a warning just this once.

[Ofc. Mike Bossman @OPDOfcBossman]

One has to ask themselves if driving your Audi so fast and so reckless that you rear end a semi and cause this much damage to both vehicles is worth it.

We are very fortunate no one was killed in this high speed crash on the interstate.
