LPD joins collaborative investigation into Lincoln Diocese staff

Lincoln Police Chief Jeff Bliemeister and Lancaster County Attorney Pat Condon met with Bishop James Conley on August 24th to talk about criminal allegations involving diocesan staff. 

Bliemeister said the Lincoln Police Department is actively working with the Lincoln Diocese, the Lancaster County Attorney, and the Nebraska Attorney General to obtain information about past and present criminal activity by members of the Lincoln Diocese staff.

The Criminal Investigations unit will investigate all incidents of criminal activity occurring in Lincoln and work with the County Attorney to prosecute offenders. 

Offenses occurring outside Lincoln will be handled by the Nebraska Attorney General or the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction in that area. 

Bliemeister said the Lincoln Police Department is committed to providing a voice to all victims in the Lincoln community.
