The Lincoln City Council has asked us to share the following information with our social media followers: Every 10 years, after the U.S. Census, the City of Lincoln must re-establish the boundaries for City Council districts. The resulting council district boundaries must be balanced in population in accordance with state and federal rules governing the redistricting process. In 2021, an Independent Redistricting Commission made up entirely of community members will be formed... to establish district boundaries in a process that is free from special interests and political influence.

Lincoln Police Department rolling out body worn cameras The Lincoln Police Department recently purchased body worn cameras and began deploying them this week. The $61,000 purchase was approved by City Council in September 2020 (that includes the cameras, 5 years of data storage, and tech support). The Motorola WatchGuard V300 cameras attach to the front of the officer’s uniform and are about the size of a deck of cards.... LPD policy states that officers will activate their cameras during enforcement and investigative contacts, traffic stops, self-initiated activity, and any other contact that becomes adversarial after the initial contact. They may stop recording during very limited, specific situations. Officers can dock the camera and upload the videos to the WatchGuard’s cloud storage at any time during their shift. They must do it at the end of each shift. Chief Doug Lee said, I am very proud of the way our employees conduct themselves daily, which results in few to no personnel complaints each year. However, it is widely recognized that the use of body worn cameras increases trust between the community and the police, provides additional evidence in arrests or prosecutions, and increases transparency and accountability.
