Struggling to fill law enforcement jobs, Nebraska just went all in on a new strategy — and it might be a model for other states.
Attorney General Mike Hilgers launched a new website, SecureTheGoodLife.Nebraska.gov, to recruit officers to rural departments across the state. The platform combines storytelling, purpose-driven messaging, and direct job listings to fill the growing gaps in departments.
