WASHINGTON, D.C. – As Police Week commences, the State of Nebraska is sharing a message with law enforcement officers from across the entire country with unique outreach set for National Police Week in Washington, D.C. “While respect for law enforcement has deteriorated in large urban centers, Nebraska has continued our tradition of supporting the men and woman who wear the uniform and keep our communities safe each and every day,” said U.S. Congressman Mike Flood. “The Nebraska Crime Commission is doing great work so that Nebraska gets the message out to the entire country that we back the blue and want more peace officers here in the Good Life.” During Police Week, the Nebraska Crime Commission will highlight Nebraska’s support to police officers with a moving digital billboard. The billboard will focus on the area around National Police Week Tent City, which is a festival and expo space hosting thousands of officers and their families. The effort is not specific to any one Nebraska law enforcement agency but aims to the spread the word that all Nebraska agencies have much to offer to potential candidates. Among the incentives available to Nebraska police officers are: * 100% Tuition Waiver for sworn officers and their dependents. This waiver applies to any state university, college, or community college. * Cash Incentives for new hires are eligible to receive up to a $7,500 bonus upon Nebraska certification. Nebraska also offers retention bonuses on the first, third, and fifth year of employment. WHEN: The mobile billboard will be roaming during the following approximate timeframes: * Monday, May 13, 2024 from 1:00pm-5:00pm ET * Tuesday, May 14, 2024 from 1:00pm-5:00pm ET * Congressman Mike Flood will be available for interviews on location at 4pm ET on Tuesday.
