ACCOUNTING

The focus of the Accounting Division is to be responsible for the financial operations of the Nebraska State Patrol.

These financial operations include preparing budget requests, implementing approved budgetary appropriations, operating the payroll system, maintaining leave records for employees, ensuring that all vendors receive payment for their services, maintaining records and reporting on all financial transactions within the agency.

GRANTS

The Grants Division oversees the development and implementation of agency projects funded through outside sources. Annually, the Division secures approximately eight million dollars in funding and contributions for projects that support crime prevention and reduction, traffic enforcement, highway safety, and homeland security.

In addition to managing grants for the State Patrol, the Grants Division subgrants funds to other state and local governmental agencies across Nebraska for a wide variety of law enforcement efforts.

As an agency liaison, the Grants Division works closely with the Nebraska State Patrol Foundation to secure contributions from private individuals, businesses, county drug boards, and non-profit organizations. These donations further the mission of the Nebraska State Patrol where government funding cannot, providing for advanced officer equipment and training, police service dogs, and community education.
