I’ve lived in Nebraska for 16 years now, and nothing has taught me more about the people of this state, or been a more rewarding professional experience, than assisting with the law enforcement trainings that are part of UNO’s traffic stop research initiative.

I’m deeply grateful to the Nebraska Department of Transportation for funding this important work. Thank you to the Scottsbluff Police Department for hosting us, and to the Gering Police Department, Banner County Sheriff’s Office, Nebraska Game and Parks Commission, and so many others for their hospitality. A shout-out as well to Faithful Creations Catering, as the food was outstanding!

I’m also grateful to RENZ Consulting and our outstanding training duo, Lorenzo M. Boyd, Ph.D. and Heather L. Pfeifer, Ph.D, as well as UNO’s Dr. Mark Foxall for relieving me of duty so I could return to Omaha after five days on the road.

One of the highlights of the week was joining Sgt. Eckerberg for a ride-along with the Scottsbluff Police Department on Thursday morning, during which I found myself an active participant in two significant calls, which was an experience I won’t soon forget.

And finally, thanks to Mother Nature for the low humidity that stands in such welcome contrast to eastern Nebraska this time of year. It was a pleasant reminder of home.
