LINCOLN – Members of Lincoln’s police union have alleged that recent changes at Twin River Casino in Lincoln have made it challenging for officers to effectively respond to incidents there.
Lincoln Det. Kyle Wingate, IBPO Local 435 president, wrote to the Lincoln Town Council this week raising concerns over “an urgent public safety matter that has impacted the response of our town’s police officers to an emergency.”
Historically, the letter states, the Lincoln casino funded detail police officers to cover incidents occurring there, but began eliminating those positions in 2019.
That move put an “unfair burden on the town’s police resources,” said Wingate, noting that the casino is responsible for “a large share of the town’s police activity,” creating a significant challenge for police officers and leaving them unavailable for incidents throughout the rest of town.
