I have consistently warned about the risk of repeat offenders and our revolving door mental health crisis which is a direct result of a lack of acute, secure behavioral health infrastructure.
This terrifying image is a tragic illustration of this dangerous reality. Innocent victims constantly pay for the inaction of politicians.
Nebraska MUST identify solutions which keep the dangerously mentally ill AWAY from innocent people.
Meanwhile, Douglas County government is currently sitting on an empty, secure, brand new 64 bed “juvenile facility” at a cost of $20,000+ a month simply to maintain the vacant space. With appropriate steps, this valuable facility could be repurposed into a secure mental health facility, among many other possibilities, to KEEP PEOPLE SAFE.
It’s time for Federal, State and local leaders to WORK TOGETHER to find real SOLUTIONS.
Over the past 3 years, the Sheriff's Office has made it our mission to put dangerous criminals behind bars, crack down on reckless driving, and address the issues that matter to you.
Douglas County is becoming a safer place, but there’s more work to do. That’s why I’m announcing my re-election campaign to continue serving as your Sheriff.

Chief Deputy Niemack and I were 10 minutes away from this morning’s Dallas ICE Facility sniper murders.
We, along with most other major Sheriffs in the US, were preparing to meet with the FBI Director at time of the shooting.
Pray for the innocent ICE detainee shooting victims and their families.
Pray for our law enforcment officers - and especially our targeted ICE Agents - as we navigate these chaotic times.
Pray for our nation.
Regardless of what side it comes from, these politically motivated assassinations MUST STOP.
The Chief Deputy and I are more committed than ever to proactively protecting innocent people in our community and aggressively pursuing those who would do them harm, BEFORE they strike.
More to come.
Charlie Kirk’s assassin Tyler Robinson, 22, killed him because he hated his opinions and thought he was a fascist. Yet ironically, HE was the fascist, killing someone to silence their opposing views.
The woke left love to say ‘speech is violent.’
It’s not - violence is.
@IamNotH52498667 I can’t send you a PM for some reason.
Will you please email me with the days, times and locations where the challenge is the worst and we will make sure the Road Patrol and CAT Team focuses on it?

Responsible gun owners (who don’t want to be shot with their own guns) exercise proper weapons retention.
👉🏽Keep it holstered.
👉🏽Keep it concealed.
👉🏽Train often.
@IamNotH52498667@DCSheriffNE I hear you. We will have CAT deploy the radar trailer in that area as soon as the CWS is done. It is being used for traffic control right now.
I'm sorting through special things from my office as I settle in. This special piece was hand made by my MOM, March 27, 1998 when I graduated from the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center as a rookie @lavistapolice Officer.
Unfortunately, my mom never saw the opportunities to follow, a long career at LVPD, the honor to serve as the @KearneyPolice Chief and most recently, joining the @NEStatePatrol Team as Colonel-Superintendent.
I’m certain she would be just as proud! I’m thankful for my mom and dad, they both formed my leadership style! Don't blink, take it all in. 💙
