Open Questions

  1. LCSO denied QCN-NE-2026-002 on specificity grounds (§ 84-712.01(4)(c)) while simultaneously denying KOLN 10/11's requests using § 84-712.05(5) (investigative exemption) — including a request for camera brand and model. What is LCSO's basis for treating camera model information as 'strategic or tactical information used in law enforcement training'?
  2. SOP #1371 § III.B.1.f requires the Criminal Investigations Captain to post the SOP on the Sheriff's Office public website. Is it currently posted there, and is SOP #1371 (effective 2018) the current version or has it been superseded?
  3. Sheriff Wagner confirmed 9 cameras (3 mobile, 6 fixed) to KOLN 10/11 on September 18, 2026. Where are the 6 fixed units located — are any installed on NDOT right-of-way under Agreement C-23-0809?
  4. Does LCSO share ALPR data with LPD, the Nebraska State Patrol, or federal task forces under the Vigilant Solutions LEARN database or otherwise?
