Nebraska Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #2

10/15/2026

The members of FOP lodge 2 represent the rank and file of the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.
Recently there has been some back and forth regarding an incident in which an individual whose status in the country is in question was arrested on a charge of Misdemeanor Motor Vehicle Homicide. The question is who flubbed the booking of this individual that allowed him to have such a low bond.
It is incumbent that when a mistake is made ownership of that mistake becomes a learning point so mistakes of this nature do not happen in the future.
Anyone who knows the booking process at Douglas County Corrections knows that an individual Deputy or Officer inputs a conversion code and that code is correlated to the charge and the bond is automatically set by the system.
Where the confusion starts with our members is how the blame for this was thrown back at the Deputy that did the booking. The statement released by Douglas County Corrections seems to want to make the office of the Sheriff and his Deputies the heart of the issue.
There seems to be no real evidence that this is the case. It appears to us that it is an obfuscation of the facts behind this incident and an inability to admit fault.
We would welcome a sit down with officials of Douglas County Corrections so they can provide empirical evidence as to where the fault lies in this incident.
State statue makes it clear that the director of corrections gets this bond schedule from the seated county court judges and it is his or her job to make their system conform to the schedule.
The safety of the citizens of Douglas County is highest priority of our membership and to have an individual set free due to an error of this magnitude would be devastating.

As corrections and police officers, we handle mental health crises and dangerous criminals every shift with professionalism. We did not sign up to be strangled, bitten, beaten, or have bodily fluids thrown in our faces. That’s not a “workplace nuance.” It’s a violent crime.

Hearing Director Myers argue against tougher penalties for attacking his own staff made us sick. It shows how completely disconnected he is from the people he leads. He claims officers “choose” whether to press charges and often don’t. Charging an inmate who assaults staff should be automatic and not left up to the officer who just got assaulted.

Only one leader in this article is standing up for the people protecting their communities: Sheriff Hanson. While candidate Martinez criticizes him for moving too fast, we agree with Hanson’s challenge. “Name the arrests you think were inappropriate.”

Every FOP lodge and Officer in Nebraska stands with our corrections family at Douglas County Corrections and other correctional facilities in Nebraska. Sheriff Hanson’s response makes it clear why we support him.

DCDC staff and all members of Lodge 8: Even if your director doesn’t have your backs, the Nebraska State Lodge does.

Tonight the Omaha Stormchasers honored Deputy Brayden Artzer. Deputy Artzer was shot in the line of duty during a domestic violence incident in April. Deputy Artzer has returned to full duty and we are thankful for the community support that he received during his recovery.

First and foremost we would like to thank the members of the community that have offered our Deputy their thoughts after being injured today.

It’s seems that the Mayor’s rhetoric has come to fruition with the second shooting of a Deputy within a month.

Words have consequences. To call a professional law enforcement organization “An occupying army” has emboldened the criminal element of this city to declare war on the members of the DCSO.

Our organization has waited weeks to have a talk with John Ewing. But alas. He sits behind an ivory tower. Throwing political firebombs without regard for the fallout.

All the while amazing people continue to put their lives on the line to arrest those in this metro who would do their fellow man harm.

Missouri to Platte. Dutch Hall to Harrison. Our people are there to perform a duty many will never understand. With pride and integrity.
