Omaha Police Department Crime Report Digest: March 17-23, 2025
On March 19, officers responded to a narcotics incident at the Hixson-Lied Center on UNMC campus at 4350 Dewey Avenue. Narcotics were found and booked into evidence. The case is currently inactive. Case number: 20250322.
The Nebraska State Patrol reported multiple weather-related incidents on March 20 due to blizzard conditions. Troopers responded to approximately 500 weather-related incidents, including 448 motorist assists and 27 crashes. Two patrol vehicles were struck while responding to incidents.
On March 21, the Nebraska State Patrol concluded a special enforcement effort around St. Patrick's Day, resulting in the arrest of 18 impaired drivers.
The Omaha Police Department continues to focus on addressing juvenile crime, which remains a top concern in 2025. Chief Todd Schmaderer has noted a high recidivism rate among juveniles involved in violent crimes and emphasized the need for system improvements.
Officers are also maintaining efforts to combat excessive speeding and dangerous driving, which were significant issues in the previous year. The department is maximizing resources on traffic enforcement, including overtime operations and targeting speeding hot spots.
The police department is currently experiencing a shortage of 98 officers. A recruit class is set to graduate next week, with two more classes planned to address the staffing deficit.
Overall crime trends in Omaha show improvement, with violent crime down 21% in 2024 compared to the previous year. The city recorded 19 homicides in 2024, the lowest number since 1990, and achieved a 100% homicide clearance rate for the second consecutive year.
Despite these positive trends, law enforcement remains vigilant about gun-related incidents. Officers continue to seize a high number of illegal firearms on a nightly basis, contributing to ongoing concerns about gun violence.
The police department encourages community engagement and cooperation to maintain public safety. Residents with information about criminal activities are urged to contact Omaha Crime Stoppers at (402) 444-STOP or visit omahacrimestoppers.org. For emergencies, always call 911.
