Day 15- Lincoln Police

Dear UNL,

     Lincoln is a city of few policemen.  We always think that a city of this size would have more keepers of the peace.  That, maybe, possibly, Lincoln would be more like, oh let's say, Omaha or Council Bluffs, or Des Moines.  But *shrugs* guess not.  The Lincoln Police are far and few between, here in the Star City.

     Since we started at UNL, a year and so many months ago (something like 3), we have only seen a handful of cop cars in the area.  Now, granted, Lincoln is not a city of much violence and destruction, but our traffic?  Oh our goodness!  The traffic really is horrible.

     Maybe not as bad as some places.  Take New York, for instance.  But we, at least, thought we would see cops everywhere.  Unfortunately, we must hang our heads in sadness.  Looking for cop cars whilst driving around Lincoln, is like looking for a wooly mammoth in Texas.

     Strangely enough, there seem to be bi-monthly "keepers of the peace" meetings in the parking lot on City Campus, by Memorial Stadium.  Why they gather there, we shall never know.  UNL, if you find out, please fill us in!  We are very curious.  When the city police, campus police, sheriff's posse, state patrol, highway patrol, and rent a cops have a little pow wow, we start to wonder.... We suppose that Lincoln is crazier than we ever thought.  Who knew?!

     Keep us safe, crazy patrol men!  Be your sneaky, little ninja selves.  Stay classy, UNL.  We will always love you (and wonder where in the world the Po Po's are)!

Sincerely,

killa & barney
