Fore The Force Golf Outing to Support Cameras for Cops

Wilderness Ridge is proud to support the Lincoln Police Department and its efforts in protecting our community. Banding together this spring in support of Cameras for Cops, the first annual Fore the Force Golf Tournament & Auction will be held on Thursday, May 25th. All proceeds from this event will be used to purchase body cameras for the Lincoln Police Department. According to Chief of Police, Jeff Bliemeister, “We are transitioning to Watch Guard body worn cameras to sync with our in-car camera technology. Each camera is approximately $700 with a 3-year replacement schedule. LPD needs 242 body cameras to fully outfit our uniformed patrol officers. The hardware, infrastructure and employee to manage a large technology program like this, in addition to storage costs are estimated to cost $539,689 the first year and $209,128 each year after.” To register a team, or purchase tickets to the dinner and auction, please contact Chris Thomson at cthomson@wildernessridgegolf.com.
