AUGUST 25, 2022 (GRAND ISLAND, NEB.) — Nebraska is on display for the next ten days
at the Nebraska State Fair and Nebraska State Troopers will be working to keep the event safe
for everyone in attendance.
Troopers are looking to recruit the next generation of Troopers throughout the fair as well.
“We’re excited for another great year at the Nebraska State Fair,” said Captain Dean Riedel,
Commander of Troop C, based in Grand Island. “We encourage everyone to travel safely on the
way to the fair and have a great time during the event. Our troopers will be on patrol throughout
the grounds if you need assistance.”
Fairgoers are able to check out the NSP booth inside the Pinnacle Bank Expo Building. Kids have the opportunity to get
their own replica trooper hat, take a shot on the “Become A Trooper” basketball hoop, watch an
NSP drone flight, and meet troopers from around the state.
In addition to the NSP booth, troopers and investigators will also be patrolling the fairgrounds to keep
patrons safe. Troopers work in a variety of ways throughout the fair, using bicycles and allterrain vehicles. The fair begins today and runs through Labor Day, September 4 at Fonner Park
in Grand Island.
Any visitor in need of law enforcement assistance can contact any of the troopers patrolling
throughout the fair, visit the NSP booth in the Expo Building, or go directly to the NSP Security
Office, located at the Fonner Park Racing Office.
