This year Lincoln, NE has seen an uptick in the majority of crimes that are recorded on a monthly basis. This is especially true for violent crimes and burglary. The biggest decline so far in 2012 compared to last year was in auto theft which saw an almost 25% drop.

Leadership in the Lincoln Police Department has been in a bit of limbo this past year. During that time Jim Peschong was the acting chief while the city implemented a newly created Public Safety System. “The new management model has accomplished just what we hoped it would,” said Mayor Chris Beutler. There is better coordination, cost savings and new ideas are emerging, he said.
