The #PPD office will be closed on Tuesday, November 11th, in honor of Veterans Day. All emergency services will operate as normal.

Quick PSA: 18 mph over the speed limit might feel like a small difference, but speed has a big impact on both reaction time and collision severity. For example:

At 35 mph, your car needs about 136 feet to stop (including reaction time). At 53 mph, it's close to 250-300 feet -- more than double. The energy involved in a crash also increases dramatically as speed rises, so collisions at 50+ mph are far more likely to cause serious injury or death than those at lower speeds.

While some will say that extra traffic enforcement is a "revenue grab", these operations are grant-funded and DO NOT provide ANY income to the city -- our goal is to reduce crashes and keep people safe.

With that in mind, the Sarpy County Traffic Task Force will have additional grant-funded traffic enforcement tomorrow, November 11th. Please slow down, wear your seatbelt, and help keep everyone safe this Veterans Day.

Last week, Officer Kustka as well as several @Walmart Papillion employees jumped into action to assist Melissa Kramer during a medical incident -- this included lifesaving CPR and the use of an AED. Melissa was able to walk back into the store yesterday and meet the people who saved her life!
