On Wednesday September 12, the police ran an undercover operation in Wilderness Park. The objective of this mission was to catch people for indecent exposure, and sexual harassment. Ten men were caught during the operation including 7 from the Lincoln area. There have been several complaints about such activities happening, and the police said that once in a while it’s necessary to do an operation such as this one. If these type of operations are done it kind of keeps the stuff happening to a minimum. Police announced this is not the only park in Lincoln where this sort of activity happens, and along with Lincoln other cities have the same things happen.
I think it’s good for the public that the police do these type of things. If these weren’t done, and complaints were just ignored then the problem would continue and likely worsen. If you are with your little kid who wants to go play in the park you shouldn’t have to worry about what’s going to happen there or what you might stumble across. This is a nuisance to the public. If I had a little kid and had stumbled across some of these things happen I’d be very pissed off. It’s good that the Lincoln police care as much as to take care of the problem. I’m sure in some big cities, the police over look situations similar to this because they don’t think it’s that big of a problem but the police here take their jobs serious and take care of all the problems. The community can feel better about itself, and also safer when the law enforcement does its job.
