Proud to have worn the uniform of the @us_airforce as a Security Policeman. The experience shaped my values, my leadership, and a lifelong commitment to public service. The uniform may change, but the commitment to serve never does. Proud Veteran. Thank you to all who have served, especially members of my family and our brothers and sisters @NEStatePatrol 🇺🇸

Every roadside conversation is an opportunity to strengthen our relationship with the unique statewide and pass-through community we serve. I’m not at all surprised and incredibly proud. Well done Trooper Poppe! 💪🏻🇺🇸

Winter weather can arrive at any time, so now is a good time to get prepared! Plan ahead by keeping a winter emergency kit in your vehicle, downloading the Nebraska 511 app to check road conditions, and making sure your vehicle is ready for winter weather.

With fall in full swing, kids are walking to school and waiting at bus stops in darker conditions. 🧒🔦 Drivers, when entering a school zone: 🟡 Turn on your headlights and watch for kids in dark clothing. 🟡 Obey posted speed limits. 🟡 Keep your phone away. 🟡 Stop for crossing guards and pedestrians.
Two people with backpacks cross a street at a crosswalk during dusk, as cars wait. A prominent sign displays a school speed limit of 15 mph, effective from 7 am to 6 pm on school days. The message "Slow Down in School Zones!" is emphasized in bold yellow and white text.

She was hit, she fought, she recovered, and she came back. And she’s back doing what she loves, serving others as a Nebraska State Trooper. Trooper Fitzgeralds journey is a powerful testament to faith, resilience, determination, and an unwavering commitment to service. I’m incredibly proud of her and the team who stood beside her throughout her recovery. We’re grateful for her courage and willingness to share her story. Special thanks to our Public Affairs team for documenting this tragic event to help educate others about the dangers our troopers and all first responders face every day. It’s a powerful reminder to slow down, drive for the conditions, and give emergency responders room to do their jobs.

To close out Crash Responder Safety Week, Trooper Clarissa Fitzgerald tells the story of how she was hit while providing traffic protection for other officers working a previous crash. We're beyond thankful she is alive today to tell the story. She has had a long recovery of over a year, but she's back on the road serving others as a proud Nebraska State Trooper. Inclement weather can happen year round. Always drive to the conditions and slow down, especially when you come upon a crash scene.

I’m extremely grateful our Trooper is safe. This could have ended very differently. Every day, our @NEStatePatrol troopers put their lives on the line to protect others. Too often, that daily risk is made even greater by preventable actions of careless and impaired drivers. Make good choices: 🚨Drive sober 🚨Put the phone down 🚨Slow down 🚨Move Over 🚨Pay attention when approaching an emergency scene. Our troopers and all emergency responders face enough risks simply doing their jobs. Please don’t make the roadside even more dangerous.

Last night while directing traffic, one of our Troopers patrol units was struck by a drunk driver on Highway 75. Luckily enough our trooper was not in the unit and did not get injured. Stop drunk and distracted driving.

Hat tip to the NSP AirWing for tracking a fleeing suspect from the air today around Lincoln, leading troopers on the ground right to his location for a succesful arrest after a short pursuit. Troopers also recovered a gun the suspect threw out of the car during the pursuit.

A little extra caution can help prevent a crash. 🦌⚠️ Deer are on the move this time of year and can enter the road unexpectedly. Whether you're driving through wooded areas or suburban neighborhoods, stay focused and be prepared for sudden crossings.
A safety infographic titled "Watch for Deer." It advises slowing down and staying alert, especially at dawn and dusk. The graphic includes images of a deer in front of a car, a deer crossing sign, binoculars, and a braking car. Tips are: watch roadsides for deer, slow in areas with deer signs, and brake if a deer enters the path without swerving.

This Crash Responder Safety Week, NDOT is highlighting Traffic Incident Management (TIM) training. So far this year, 951 responders have completed training, putting us close to our goal of 1,000. TIM helps safely clear crashes, reduce congestion and prevent secondary crashes.
