This alarming trend is apparent in the increasing number of inattentive and/or distracted drivers striking marked police vehicles at very high speeds, which is greatly concerning and unacceptable. I’m thankful for the first-class medical care our Trooper is receiving; she remains in good spirits. I was able to visit with her and her Troop A Teammates this evening. We wish her a swift recovery. As expected, our professional State Trooper was following her training and experience in the proper use of all available emergency equipment, lighting, and thankfully, wearing her seatbelt while sitting in her parked, marked police vehicle. This is a call to action: MOVE OVER, SLOW DOWN, PHONES DOWN, ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS, BUCKLE UP, PAY ATTENTION. We are so lucky this Trooper was not more seriously injured or worse. I’m profoundly thankful tonight.

Incredibly thankful to report that our Trooper is alert, in good spirits, and will be OK after her cruiser was struck tonight in Omaha. The trooper was inside the vehicle, parked, with emergency lights activated, when the cruiser was struck by a passing truck.

Many have asked how they can help Trooper Kyle McAcy's family. #NSP302 The support you've all shown has been wonderful, but if you'd like to contribute financially, the Nebraska Troopers Charity, Inc. has set up a fund in Kyle's honor. Please see here: fundthefirst.com/campaign/in…

Before you snap those first-day-of-school photos, make sure to protect sensitive information about your child. Sharing a child's school and teacher’s name is a way for a predator to track their next victim. Have a safe school year! #BackToSchoolMonth
