LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Monday evening, Lincoln City Council voted to unanimously approve Carrie Herrera to the Citizen Police Advisory Board.
Carrie, the widow of Lincoln police investigator Mario Herrera who was killed in the line of duty in September, says when positions on the board opened in late 2020, it wasn’t something that ever crossed her mind.
“At first I thought no way, there’s nothing political about me, but then I did a little research, looked into it, and realized it’s not political it’s literally about being objective,” Carrie says in an interview with Channel 8’s Marlo Lundak.
