Members of the FOP Lodge 15 and staff of NPD were busy this last weekend being part of our communities events! Day shift and other members volunteered to help with Bike Safety at the Landon Bos Bike Rodeo teaching children and parents the rules of the road while on a bicycle and making sure they have all the necessary equipment and their bicycles are working correctly!

We also had some of our members partake in the veterans su***de prevention Rick March where they walked from Hadar Fire Departmwnt to the VFW in Norfolk!

Thank you to those members that helped and participated and being a part of the community on and off duty!!!

Good morning to everyone that follows our page!! I hope you have had a wonderful memorial weekend! Today is the day to remember! Today we remember what we have because of those who have fought for it. I personally have been blessed to have so many of my family, friends, and coworkers serve in the various branches of military. This includes my father and my twin brother! I personally want to thank each and every one of you for your dedication, bravery, and courage to serve our country with pride and honor! I also think about those we have lost. I hope you take some time today to remember what today is about. Have a wonderful and safe holiday!

Austin Hergott
President

Congratulations to our members and officers and supervisors for being recognized by M.A.D.D in Lincoln recently. Your dedication to keeping our roads safe from impaired driving is making a difference and a stern reminder to those making that decision to not have a safe driver and “drive sober, or get pulled over!” Thank you for everything you do!

Congratulations to our Norfolk Police Division officers, our partners at the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, Nebraska State Patrol Troop B, and the Elkhorn Logan Valley Public Health Department for being recognized today at the MADD Nebraska Awards Banquet in Lincoln.

Seven officers from the police division were honored for their work in DWI enforcement and Minor in Possession of Alcohol enforcement. These awards represent a lot of late nights, traffic stops, investigations, teamwork, and a shared commitment to keeping impaired drivers off the road and keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors.

We are proud of the work being done here in Norfolk and across Northeast Nebraska. DWI enforcement is not about numbers or trophies. It is about preventing crashes, saving lives, and helping make sure people get home safely.

That being said… they did bring home the hardware today, and we are proud of them for it.

Congratulations to everyone recognized, and thank you to MADD Nebraska for continuing to support law enforcement, victims, families, and safer communities across our state.

During National Police Week 2026, the Nebraska State Fraternal Order of Police asks everyone to honor and remember the brave law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities and our nation.

Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten. As we reflect on the sacrifices made by these heroes, we also stand in support of the officers who continue to serve and protect each and every day.

Please join us in remembering the fallen and thanking those who wear the badge with honor.

SRO Hansen is one of the good ones!!! He cares about our youth and their best interest not only while he has them during school but for their future!! That is what being an officer is all about!! Great job SRO Hansen!

For high school seniors, the end of the year is filled with prom, graduation and "adulting." But at Norfolk Senior High School, one officer is making sure students are prepared for the real world before they walk across the stage.

Last night the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #15 held our monthly meeting. Last nights meeting was extra special as we got to say goodbye one last time to Chaplin Lou Siefker who has retired from Norfolk Police Division after 25 years! Since Lou was a member of the FOP, our members discuss and vote if we would make or gift the retiree things such as making and giving the retiree a shadowbox with equipment they used through out their career. Member H. Westbrook made a wonderful shadowbox for Lou that we we presented him last night! Thank you for all you did for the FOP and the Norfolk Police Division.

We were also honored to have both candidates for the Madison County Attorney’s election race come and speak with our membership. It was great conversation with each candidate and being able to ask them questions. Thank you both for coming and meeting with our membership so they can make an informed decision come Election Day!!
