Any soldier active, living, or deceased is eligible for placement on a banner through the Lincoln Hometown Heroes Program put on by Lincoln Rotary. Each individual banner will be unique and will honor the soldier. The banner will include the soldier's photo, branch of service, and era of service. Lincoln Hometown Heroes Program will be taking orders over the next few months, but the banners will be on a first come first serve basis. This project is non-political and non-partisan. This is a living memorial to those soldiers who served or are serving our country. The cost of the banner will be $50 which includes the banner, attachment hardware, and installation.
For more details see the attached Hometown Heroes form.

The Lincoln Police Department is pleased to introduce to our community another great way of being involved at keeping our community safe. We have taken advantage of a free service from Motorola to map crimes in our community called CrimeReports available at https://www.crimereports.com/
We want you to be informed and we need your help to control crime. With this service you will have the opportunity to register your address, which is not shared with us. Once you do, you will receive notifications of certain crimes near you and any updates on sex offenders near your registered address.
We are only listing property crimes; burglaries, thefts, and criminal damage. This is not a representation of all the crimes we investigate on a daily basis as we do not want to provide details on crimes where they are personal, like domestic batteries or sexual offenses.
