On November 22, 1937, the Nebraska "Safety Patrol" began operating as Nebraska's state law enforcement agency. Ever since then, the State Patrol has been an integral part of Nebraska's law enforcement network. Started primarily for motor vehicle law enforcement, today's Nebraska State Patrol has duties and responsibilities of a modern police agency. Since the beginning our motto has been "pro bono publico" – for the good of the public. We're proud, and we feel we've earned the right to be proud.
The Nebraska State Patrol maintains its state headquarters in the capital city of Lincoln. Troop area headquarters are located in Lincoln, Omaha, Norfolk, Grand Island, North Platte and Scottsbluff. These troop headquarters, augmented by many other troop stations throughout the state, provide personnel to give the citizens of Nebraska appropriate services including:
