The Nebraska State Patrol has several divisions under which officers operate. Major G.T. Griess oversees the entire division from State Headquarters in Lincoln. He is assisted by Captain Thorson, and eight Lieutenants located in various troop areas across the state of Nebraska. Each of the State Patrol's six troop areas has one or more drug investigators and one or more criminal investigators. The Nebraska State Patrol's Drug Division is committed to stopping illegal drug use.
Investigators work both in uniform and undercover to combat the drug trade.
We are constantly developing and implementing new projects to help us with our efforts. The following list details just a few of those projects. The Rural Apprehension Drug Task Force is a grant-funded project which lays the groundwork for law enforcement agencies, especially in rural areas, to work together to combat illegal drug activity. The Nebraska State Patrol is very involved with the task force, along with 26 local law enforcement agencies in Nebraska. RAP recently distributed flyers in more than a dozen metro and rural newspapers asking for information from the public about potential drug activity or drug dealers.
