The Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) recently made an announcement stating their collaboration with various law enforcement agencies from neighboring states to enhance the presence of patrols along Highway 20. Specifically, on June 30, NSP revealed their plans to join forces with troopers from multiple states with the objective of increasing patrols on U.S. Highway 20 throughout the month of July. This joint effort aims to bolster law enforcement activities and ensure the safety and security of the highway.
“Highway 20 is a major route of travel across the country and for vacationers coming to experience northern Nebraska,” said Captain Dain Hicks, Commander of Troop B, based in Norfolk. “This multi-state partnership is positively impacting the safety for Highway 20 travelers from Nebraska to Iowa and across the entire country.”
“With the goal of improving safety and reducing crashes on all roadways, the Iowa State Patrol is thankful for the partnerships that have been made to make this project successful,” said Lieutenant Brian Beenen, District 9 Commander, Cedar Falls. “This coast-to-coast initiative involves over 40 law enforcement agencies across the country. We look forward to continued collaboration to make our roadways safe.”
Highway 20 runs across the U.S. from Massachusetts to Oregon.
