Papillion Police

FYI: Today, #PPD and other area agencies will be conducting drone training at the Walnut Creek Recreation Area from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm. Please do not be alarmed as these are just training exercises. Thank you!

The @NEHumaneSociety would like to remind pet owners that as the weather warms up, we see an increase in loose animal calls! Take a few minutes to check your fences, gates, and yards to see how they weathered the winter and make sure your pets aren't able to embark on any surprise adventures. 🐶🐱 #policingwithpride #animalsafety

From preschool to high school, Lieutenant McClannan speaks every age's language -- and we think he makes it pretty cool! #everyageeverystage #sro #community #policingwithpride

Last week, Sergeant McClannan got a suspicious call at @PLSHSTitans High School...turns out, they just wanted to award him Staff Member of the Week! 🥳👌🏻 #policingwithpride #sro #feelslikehome

Happy Saturday from #PPD! We had a blast making window greenhouses this past week at #CraftswithCops and can't wait to see our green beans sprout! 🌱🌱 We'll take a break for the month of May, and come back for #FamilyLawnGames starting the first Thursday in June. #policingwithpride

Today, we say goodbye to Officer Michele Patterson as she leaves #PPD to embark on a new adventure in her career. Officer Patterson has been with #PPD since 2007, serving in a variety of specialty teams including Road Patrol, Search and Rescue, Drone Team, Honor Guard, and Pipe & Drum Corps. Michele: thank you for your dedication and commitment, for making a difference in the lives of countless students as an SRO, and for embodying what it means to police with pride. Good luck in your future endeavors!

We'll be making awesome Window Greenhouses tomorrow at #CraftswithCops! Join us at @PapillionLib in the children's area for this free activity -- remember that once school is out for the summer, #CraftswithCops will change to #FamilyLawnGames (more info coming soon). See you there! #policingwithpride #community

P.A.K. Camp registration is LIVE! This unique program is designed to strengthen relationships between the local community and local law enforcement and promote personal success through team challenges, positive reinforcement, respectful communication, and individual leadership. Current 6th and 7th graders in the district are invited to attend our FREE Summer PAK Camp at one of two sessions: June 2-4 or July 7-9 from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Please note that you may only sign your child up for ONE session of camp. Camp activities include presentations, field trips, games, and more.

The #PapillionPoliceDepartment is teaming up with @USDOT & @NHTSAgov for the national “Put the Phone Away or Pay” high-visibility enforcement effort. From April 9-13, 2026, law enforcement officers from across the country will work together to enforce texting and distracted driving laws to make our roads safer for all road users. According to NHTSA, it’s estimated more than 32,000 people died, nationally, in crashes involving a distracted driver from 2014 - 2023. 3,275 of these deaths and nearly 325,000 injuries occurred in 2023 alone. Distracted driving continues to be a growing cause of automobile collisions and the distractions come in many forms. Adjusting the radio, applying makeup, and eating or drinking are some examples, but cell phone use — specifically, texting, talking, and social media or app usage — is the most common distraction. Texting or messaging while driving is the most dangerous type of distracted driving because it combines visual, manual and cognitive distraction.

Don't forget that PAK Camp registration opens next Wednesday, April 1st! Only two sessions this year, so make sure you sign up early. 😊

Thanks to Chloe and Girl Scout Troop #45483 for sharing some Girl Scout Cookies with us here at #PPD! As you can see, we enjoy them very much. 📷

Sometimes it's the little moments that show the biggest heart 💙 This morning, SRO Patterson at @PMS_Titans gave one of our special needs students a cool ride to school, simply because of the relationship they've built. It's easy to talk about community, but this is what it actually looks like: taking a few extra minutes to make someone feel safe, valued, and excited to start their day. We're grateful to have people like this looking out for our kids! #policingwithpride #schoolresourceofficer #communitymatters

Yesterday, our drone team got together with several other area agencies for more outdoor training in Fremont. Practicing drone skills outside is important because real world conditions are unpredictable -- this type of training helps our officers learn how to safely navigate while maintaining awareness of their surroundings and avoiding hazards. Special shout out to Officer Brobst and Officer Elsasser for organizing this session and making it happen! #policingwithpride #droneteam

A heads up that the Traffic Task Force will be doing special enforcement on Monday, March 23rd, in various locations around Sarpy County. While regular traffic enforcement is happening 24/7, these "extra" enforcement days are grant funded and give us the ability to put more officers out on the streets to keep people safe. #policingwithpride #trafficenforcement #trafficsafety

Mother Nature said "happy first day of spring" 😂🥵 Whatever the season or weather....#PPD is here for you!

Public Reminder: all public entrances to the police department are currently closed! If you need assistance, please park by the Citizen Assist signs on the west side of the building, call 402-597-2035, and wait in your vehicle for further instructions. Thank you for your patience and understanding during this project! #policingwithpride

Don't forget that if you are ever in a situation where you can't call 911 for help, you can text instead! Best practices for texting 911 include: 1. Text your location (address or cross-streets) and the nature of your emergency. 2. Be brief and concise: do not use emojis, abbreviations, or attempt to send photos/videos. 3. Be ready to answer questions from the dispatcher and follow instructions. #policingwithpride

🍀There’s no luck in drunk driving! Plan a safe ride home for any St. Patrick’s Day festivities this weekend instead of leaving it to chance. #safedriving #policingwithpride #stpatricksday
