Burglary/Theft Season
Written by Administrator Sunday, 24 March 2013 07:31
Spring is here which brings warmer temperatures. Those that have no respect for other people’s property will be out looking for easy targets to steal from.
The Lincoln Police recommend always locking your house, garage, and car doors. Thieves will still break in if they see valuables, so please hide them from view. Also take a few minutes and photograph your serial numbers, which is normally near the make and model on electronics and tools.
Always report to police anyone that is suspicious. Try to remember license plates and full descriptions of vehicles and people.
You can get paid for information leading to an arrest in the Lincoln/Logan County area by calling CrimeStoppers at 217-732-3000.

Today Chief Ken Greenslate and the Lincoln Police Department announce the launch of a new sex offender registration and public notification website called OffenderWatch®. Detective Sergeant Paul Adams initiated, implemented, and will administrate this new service which will enable the citizens of Lincoln to access this website. Lincoln will now be part of a nationwide network of over 5,000 law enforcement agencies which includes over half of Illinois’ law enforcement agencies. The new service is a citizen-friendly, easy to use website that enables citizens to search for potentially dangerous sex offenders and predators which may be in close proximity to their homes, places of work, schools, churches and day care centers.
