Troop A - Omaha
Troop A consists of five counties, Dodge, Douglas, Cass, Sarpy and Washington. Of the six Nebraska State Patrol (NSP) Troop Areas, Troop A is geographically the smallest Troop Area but has the largest population of licensed drivers in the state.
Troop A Headquartered in Omaha, is located in the Traffic Management Center, staffed by both NSP and Nebraska Department of Roads (NDOR) personnel.
Troop A faces many of the same types of traffic and investigative duties as an urban police department. Traffic congestion, population density and many different law enforcement entities and political concerns combined to make policing in the Omaha metro a complex situation. At the same time, Troop A troopers must also work within the small and medium sized communities that dot the rural landscape.
