Crime Mapping

Details

Created: 17 November 2017

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.

The Lincoln Police Department and City of Lincoln is teaming with Nixle to offer public safety announcements via cell phones and emails.  With more and more people moving away from land line telephones, the reverse 911 system may not contact everyone.  So we encourge users of cell phones to sign up with Nixle to receive notices from the City Fire and Police Departments.

You can sign up for Nixle on your cell phone or your email by visiting Nixle Website.  Messages will be in a text format and you will not receive phone calls from the system. You will not be signed up to any advertisement systems by registering for this service.

You can also simply sign up by texting 62656 to 888777 on your mobile phone.

Do you have an addiction to a drug or alcohol?  Do you know someone that has an addiction and needs treatment?  Please contact one of the programs below to get started on rehabilitation.  

If you have unused medication at home, you can bring it to the Lincoln Police Department and provide it to a police officer. This is an anonymous program and you will not be charged with a crime for bringing any illegal narcotic to the police department.

We want our residents to feel safe in their homes and when you have unused prescription medication, specially a opioid based pain reliever, you are susceptible to break in.  Those addicted to an opioid will seek out the medications to try to stay well.  Treatment is the only cure to an addiction and it takes time.
