Small Town Cops

- "Small Town Cops" considers the changing role of police work in Nebraska’s small towns and rural areas. Even in the safest communities where everyone knows everyone else, police are trained to prepare for school shootings, encountering drug traffickers, and facing an increasing number of calls involving mental illness.
In this Emmy®-nominated Nebraska Public Media News documentary, experienced and newly-trained officers explain what’s different and why they still believe in serving and protecting their communities.
“It’s a scary thought to think that it’s going to happen in our town,” said Officer Regina Preston with the Mitchell, NE, police department. The town’s police force, serving 1,600 people in Scotts Bluff County, logs less than 100 crimes each year, but the department takes on a multitude of other tasks assigned by the community to help keep the community safe, clean, and healthy.
Rarely is there violence. Nonetheless, these are times when even the smallest law enforcement agencies must prepare for the unknown.
“The ones that are on the beat are now tasked with more responsibility than has ever occurred in the history of American law enforcement,” said Mike Kerby, an instructor with the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center (NLETC) in Grand Island. The Center provides training for ordinary and extraordinary situations.
In recent years, the pressures come from within their communities, as shrinking populations may be unable to pay for the increasing cost of law enforcement. As a result, dozens of communities have given up a local police force and contracted services with the county sheriff’s office.

*calmly loads ar-15*
Gotta be ready... *calmly loads .44 Magnum*
ofc youtube banned this but if it was a cop shooting a black person itll be on trending
@@ancientslav4863 ??????????
Well that came out of left field
Yeah Ofc Mandy is a bad ass, and that Chief is such a cool guy, people like him haven't ever been more needed in this country
That police chief being able to listen to his officers tell him things hes done wrong shows how good he really is
Deuteronomy, 18:11
10. Let there be no one in the midst of you to cause your son or daughter to pass through the fire; Let no one practice enchantments or consult the stars; That there be no sorcerers or sorcerers;
11. that no one is found who engages in superstitions or consult the spirits; That no fortune-teller or anyone who asks the dead is found.
12. For Yahweh hates those who do all this, and drives them out before you because of these abominations.
Jesus loves you, God loves you
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Real talk. That takes balls.. 9/10 police chiefs would NOT be able to handle that shit... Frfr. 💯💯💯💯
@@jedi492 wtf are you on g?
@@richardpartrestal8664 bruh 😂 😂 noice
The difference between a boss and a leader; leaders want feedback.
I had to smile when the Chief talked about his first night on duty. In 2007 I went to work for a small town police department in southern Virginia. I came in, and the Chief shook my hand, threw me a set of keys to a patrol car, and said "Enforce the law". He then left and was out of town for a week. And that was my orientation. So this stuff really happens.
Amazing. At least if you are so inclined you can use discretion without much/any push back when you think a case warrants not rushing to judgement.
@@haap1011 I started last month and I had the same procedure... Just the keys and lets go.... Man if I just knew how boring it would be...
@@user-ic1tk6tl1u Police work is the most boring job I've ever had. 12hour shifts some days with 2 calls, some days with 20. I'm a small town employee.
How many cops did you arrest ?
@@haap1011 hope to see you on ODMP
I'm living in a small town in Belgium named Hannut. And Belgium is already a small country in Europe. And every year I send a Christmas card to the local police here with my best wishes and to thank them for the services rendered. And wish them a safe new year. They're just people like you and me.
That’s a nice idea to not getting pulled over 😂
do they abuse people and shoot people for fun?
Naive sheep. Belgium is the biggest child trafficking hub in the world, police have a long history of covering for child predators
🙏👏😇.
this is so wholesome of you!
Omg I am blown away by that chief. To buy a man who smokes having a bad day some cigs he didn’t have. He is amazing.
I am from Switzerland, but I really like to see how other people live. Its really interesting to see how American live in these small towns.
This is true. Thats very haert-kinded-.
@@ceooflonelinessinc.267 Small town USA is simply amazing! I've left my little town in Alabama multiple times for careers, etc but always come back. Piedmont, Alabama will always be home to me 🇺🇸🤘
@@artofvalor9396 Yes it is. I'm also from a small town in Alabama. I'm from Phil Campbell, Alabama which most people never knew existed until the tornado outbreak. It's crazy to find someone else from not far away randomly on a TH-cam comment section!
he bought him a whole carton at that! Thats not cheap!
When the cameras are going. I was in the Army Reserves and the State Patrol were good guys but a lot of the small town cops were racist jerks who I wouldn't trust with any authority.
9:31 for the homies.
Thank you sir
@@milademjayyy i bet you are over 40
Not all heroes wear capes!!
@@milademjayyy You look like an idiot with your dreadful grammar.
She is now acting police chief. Married though.
The old cop who buys the guy cigarettes was so nice you can tell hes a good human. And I'm happy he became a cop and that town is able to experience a good cop who deserves his hon
Well done, officers, sheriffs and troopers. May you always come home safe.
I am from Switzerland, but I really like to see how other people live. Its really interesting to see how American live in these small towns.
Hello from the mountains of North Carolina!
Do chicks shave their bushes in Switzerland?
Living in a small town in America is a great experience. Its true everyone knows eveyone one way or another.
@@archlich4489 aye same
@Funka Punka its funny cause I'll watch documentaries about big European cities and wonder what its like to love here.
Dude when she said domestic disturbances and it cut to her loading the rifle I was like dam, small towns don't mess around.
yeah domestic violence is one of the most dangerous situations for a cop
All police departments use them now. not unique.
@vctjkhme but when we train we find out domestic violence cases and domestic disturbances are almost as lethal if not as lethal as routine traffic stops
@@cheyenneobregon184 it's probably the most dangerous call to get
Cheyenne Obregon no such thing as “routine” in policing.
This man bought him a carton of cigs, what a legend!
I was a patrolman in a small New Mexico village. Population 1400. It had its perks, but it was hard to be responding to people who maybe 90% of them I grew up with and know or went to high school with. We had a great chief and we ran a tight ship, but it was fun and everybody took care of each other. I worked days monday through Friday. All my fellow officers and staff knew we had an open door policy. There was always a pot of coffee on and they got fed if they were hungry. I was living the dream. Of course the times changed and the crime got worse with meth and heroin. The gangs came in and it turned into the old west. Not my thing. I ended my law enforcement career in dept of corrections as a CO.
but dosent it feel weird if everyone know u? don't u guys and other young people have ambitions outside of small town, don't u feel trapped??
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 This was almost 30 years ago for me. 2 years after I worked for my small town department I went to work for the Department of Defense Police on a military installation. I eventually worked for my state's department of corrections and moved south to one our states bigger cities. I grew up in San Diego and moved to NM at 15 years old. The big city has nothing for me. Left a virtual paradise for another paradise in the desert southwest.
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 well it depends on how well you're attached to the people you live around. Most are completely satisfied with where they live & have absolutely no desire to leave the only place they've ever known. Then there are those who are the complete opposite and are itching to escape their humdrum life, or have some trauma they want to escape. It's all about what a person's comfort level or options are.
BTW, never thought of grapefruit syrup before, what made you think of that if I can ask?
Maybe get an actual job rather than fake government welfare jobs that waste taxpayers money.
I like the chief. He's kinda set in his ways, it appears, a bit of the old "I know my people" guard, but with a good heart and sense of duty for his community. He also KNOWS that he is set in his ways a little too much and appreciates the better training of the younger female officer - and although he can't change his whole way of policing, he acknowledges the city will be in good hands with the trained officers. Takes some kind of a man to admit that.
Great comment
A great man. We gotta know where we fall and struggle but not be afraid to ask for help. God gave other people for a reason or a community rather. Thank you for giving me this thought :)
@vctjkhme you are so right old school policing is becoming unfortunately rare
@@jonshepherd2550 lol, you miss the good old days when cops could lynch black people with no consequences, eh? Gotta love that "old school policing"
he should retire make the broad the chief
I’m so glad I came across this video. I live in the polar opposite of these towns and counties. I live in NYC. I hope the Mitchell police department is still patrolling and hasn’t suffered from budget cuts.
God bless from Manhattan.
Hey if the sewer lines crack and break up no problem but let’s keep sheriff bumble employed.
Big shout-out to all small town cops! Thank you for what you do, keeping our communities safe. 👍🏻
is this a series? Please say yes. This is a reality show I want to watch
@4:40 It's amazing how it's such a small town that this cop remembers the vehicles associated to the houses. If someone just moved in he'll recognize it.
RK NINE that’s small town living for you. I bet the schools are all in one building too. I lived in some small towns in Colorado and it’s pretty awesome how the community rallies together and looks after one another. Their all in it together. If someone is struggling with food you can guarantee that they’ll be taken care of by the community and when they get back on their feet they’ll help out the next struggling family.
@@myron6305 Big cities, big countries, big corporations, big governments. Everytime these get big more corrupt and out of control it becomes.
Bad english? I am from Brazil
Thats what happens when Its a small town pal
Everybody talking here about how great that is, but i can think of at least 5 separate videos I've seen passed around social media where this very issue came up and in each video, the officer who knows what cars go with which houses and who lives there and who doesn't made contact with an individual who didn't live there or their vehicle didn't "go with" the place where it was parked. And in the comments of each of those videos were thousands of angry comments about racist cops and jackboot thugs and and all cops are bastards and people who wanted those officers to be killed for knowing who lived in what house. ...just interesting, suppose. The juxtaposition between the two and the reactions based on the contexts and intents of those presenting the videos are a bit disheartening.
Its how it is in a small town. You never know maybe that car was the cop's grampa's old car
When you live your whole life in small town its weird to realize that this isnt normal for some places
Yeah. I feel like a live in a small town, but it's still 20 times the size of this one. But hey, L@ apparently has its own homeless town the size of mine. Weird.
i live in a "small town" but once u get off the island by crossing the little bridge its not small anymore. many ppl from the other nearby areas visit the small town. couple decently sized strip malls to. my small town is different then this one. this one is in the middle of no where.
I grew up in a super small town and we did drills like this all the time.
@@anonymousdoe3755 you probably live in a suburb
I hate little life .... I need a town around me
"I did that for him because there may be a time I need him to help me..." - that's not a bad way to put it
There needs to be more policemen like you. I remember it use to be like that in my town, if the police caught you drinking under age they would take you home, not arrest you as they now do. We have a big ego problem with many police officers now days. YOU SIR ARE ONE OF THE BEST.
Small town policing is no joke. Can actually be more dangerous than big city policing. Small town cops have to do a whole lot more on their own, including making decisions with little to no assistance. Especially at night. Much respect for these guys. There's no "Easy" police department to work for.
Exactly! Responding to high risk calls with no backup is a real attention getter. It’s no fun when your closest backup is 30+ minutes away.
You must have worms in your brain. you think some cornfield town is more dangerous than a big city
Shut up.
Navajo cops are trained to fight seven suspects off at one time. Because backup could be 50 miles away.
But small towns usually have corrupt cops who don't care about citizens I live in one
31:30 "Where would you like them to place spikes?"
"In the dirt"
I damn near fell outta my chair laughing so hard at that :D
Glad I wasn't the only one lolol
"I was sheriff of this county when I was twenty-five. Hard to believe. Grandfather was a lawman. Father too. Me and him was sheriffs at the same time, him in up in Plano and me out here. I think he's pretty proud of that. I know I was. Some of the old-time sheriffs never even wore a gun. A lot of folks find that hard to believe. Jim Scarborough never carried one. That's the younger Jim. Gaston Boykins wouldn’t wear one up in Comanche County. I always liked to hear about the old-timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can’t help but compare yourself against the old-timers. Can’t help but wonder how they'd have operated these times. There's this boy I sent to the electric chair at Huntsville here a while back. My arrest and my testimony. He killed a fourteen-year-old girl. Papers said it was a crime of passion, but he told me there wasn’t any passion to it. Told me that he’d been planning to kill somebody for about as long as he could remember. Said that if they turned him out he’d do it again. Said he knew he was going to hell. Be there in about fifteen minutes. I don’t know what to make of that. I sure do don’t. The crime you see now, it’s hard to even take its measure. It’s not that I’m afraid of it. I always knew you had to be willing to die to even do this job. But I don’t want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don’t understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, 'Okay, I’ll be part of this world.'"
Great movie!
Great story
--Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, Terrell County, Texas,early 1980s (population about 1100.)
The county is real. Sheriff Bell is fictional.
I would respect a police chief like that. I’m sure he has the respect of the department and most of the citizens.
"I'm going to need a more specific location than "The Dirt"" Lol
i heard that and scrolled to the comments to check who also found it funny lol
I've been on a few ride along with a sheriff's office in rural Arkansas and it's either boring or balls to the wall. No in between
I spent a few years driving a tow truck sitting up late at night listening to a police- fire- ambulance scanner and no shit I put it down to the fuller the moon the more people go bananas. A full moon guarantees trouble.
Arkansas? What a corrupt state. With shit cops. Sorry man. But that's the damn truth.
During the BLM bullshit I was in Memphis. Left the city and crossed into Arkansas with a heavy low boy on a government load to Texas. On orders I left the city limits. Arkansas Highway Police, (not the state police), two overweight tubs of absolute lazy lard ass wrote me a ticket for curfew on an oversized load. $250. Then the little bastard went to his uncle who was going to be my judge and stated I was not respectful to him. Case closed. That's Arkansas law enforcement. What a joke.

Awesome piece! I'm from one of the areas in this video and I'm filled with so much pride to see some positive light shed on local law enforcement. Bravo!
Great documentary . I currently live in Houston so the complete opposite of rural . I grew up in a small town in upstate NY where we had 2 full time and 2 part time cops . When I was a teen I was on the wrong path . One of the full time cops took the time to talk to me , put me on the right path . He knew all the kids, all the people in town. He cared about his town . Small town policing is unique and carries so much value . Good on all these officers . Stay well and God Bless.

Thank you for your service.
I live in a small town, and we have some great cops. I say that even though I've been in the back seat a few times. I enjoy speaking to them and letting them know we appreciate what they do.... And it helps them to keep it human.
As a retired Aux. Sergeant (means I was a volunteer, although I wore the same uniform and drove the same car) with 13 years of service in a small NY village this really hit home. Excellent video. Everybody needs more training.
Chief: Critique me.
Officer: let me drag you through the mud.
Wish you guys the best. Stay safe.
Coming from a small town Leo. I’m happy to see the smaller agencies are getting the recognition they deserve
How many cops did you have to arrest?
@@bluehills38 What?
There were too many dui arrests.... don’t elect him... okay, says a lot about that town doesn’t it. This was a phenomenal special. Thank you for filming this
Yeah the Sheriff actually had integrity not to let DUIs get away with it when caught. This is how they revenged it.
@@macgyver112 yeah, that’s a damn shame. I’ve worked EMS my whole life and seen what driving drunk does to people... for the scum that didn’t want to vote him in because he was tough on DUI charges is sad. I’m glad he moved on to a better higher paying job

It's so nice to see the department relations and not a lot of crime but just cops doing their job helping people! It really warms my heart
Great comment
50 years ago I was 15. Lived in a tiny place in Michigan called Edwardsburg. Norm Krupp was the chief of police and had to deal with me and everything else. Because of him I’ve always respected law enforcement and taught my children to do likewise. RIP NORM.
"What comes around, goes around" that exactly what the Chief did... I'm touched and brought tears to my eyes :'(
I only trust female police officers
Anyone would be proud to live in such a beautiful small town. What a great job this town is doing but, it's so sad that this world that we live in is what it is today.
it is this way *because* of police and the elite. not because of regular people.
Gina Always a VIP!
Seems a nice good town wish i could work there but i cant...
It was worse yesterdays.

Really liked this video. It was well done and I learned a lot. I grew up in a Midwest town of 1,500 residents. Things have really changed since then. Many thanks!
The most enlightening program on rural law enforcement that I’ve seen in the last 30 years. Kudos to all and especially the MPD.
I'm a retired firefighter/EMT/swift water/ tech/ rescue. I worked for a small town I LOVED IT. One of our biggest resources was our wonderful and well trained sheriffs. They were ALWAYS there to lend a hand. LOL even when we would give then crap for having to work four tens, to our 24 on 48 off. They are GREAT men and women.

My father had a business in a very small town up in north - the police chief was also the city utility manager, and the city council was also the vet, and the mayor was also fire chief / doctor. And my father's business was a motel which also acted as a church on Sunday (the church main building was going through renovation for 2 years) - we had a big dining hall which served as the chapel. On weekends, everyone showed up for local hockey games. Fun time we had.
Growing up in Bellevue Nebraska, I don't ever really remember much crime, let alone ever anything scary. It was always quiet and calm. Good knowing we have kind police in our community
Absolutely outstanding training for all, well done.
You're gonna be arrested for interfering in what a cat investigation 😂😂
It’s more of a scare tactic than any
Excellent police work, you talk to people like people and you get their respect.
This was honestly the most wholesome thing. A documentary about police and literally nothing happened. The most exciting thing that happened was a guy that wouldn't drop a hammer for a few seconds, before he dropped the hammer and spoke calmly.
I honestly cannot express the need for small town cops who know everyone by first name, who check in for no reason, just to see how you are. People of the community working for the community. It's almost as if they're not cops, just more respected citizens.
It's so nice seeing criminals just stop and be friendly when they know they've been caught by a genuinely nice police officer.
As I say, it's wholesome.
It has that relaxed feeling to it all.
"ok Dale, you're not going to hurt yourself are you?" haha the way he said that had me... haha
I like how the Chief is one on one with the citizens and knows there in and outs. Shows genuine loyalty .
Chief, you rock!!! Awesome!!!
Best Documentary on subject ever.
How beautiful. Wow, this officer is really taking care & looking out after all. Wow. Very Lucky, Beautiful!
Huh? 🤔
@@Sssssssslf Pretty sure he's talkin' about Officer Murphy @ 11:29. She's a cutie.
I am really enjoying your documentaries. Thank you.
Education, training, and experience make a good Officer. Keep up the good work chief.
The best police officers always do what they can to gain and keep the trust of the citizens they protect and serve.
It not only helps them to personally develop relationships with the community, but it helps to increase respect for the entire agency.
sounds like a great place to move to, and stay..would love to do just that..looks like many residents are very nice people!
As a former small town cop, this is so familiar…I miss helping people, getting to know the kids and others, and being their friends in many ways. Small town cops can’t be transferred to other areas if they mess up like in big cities. You have to be compassionate, firm but fair, and friendly or you won’t make it. I am so glad I never worked in a big city. I was able to be proactive as well as reactive. Over the years, times have changed. 58 years ago when my career began, I based my decisions on common sense much of the time. No training unless we initiated it. Learning from experienced officers was the norm. I am now retired for good. I wouldn’t trade my years as a cop, but I’m glad it’s finally over. It was time…maybe long overdue.
I watched it until the end. Thank you so much!
Nebraska wow beautiful, greetings from switzerland!
Came directly to the comments section to check out all the know-it-all Police experts. I wasn’t disappointed.....
Me either.😒
Awesome Chief! Humble man who knows how to take recommendations!
This is an excellent video. God bless our Officers across this great land of ours. Thumbs up ~John
Our small town police, are great guys. They really protect and serve. They'd rather give you a ride home when a little....tipsy, then wait for you to get in your car/truck and try to drive. They always wave and help our community. We're lucky.
Sounds like a great place to live and raise a family.
Agreed.
Yes we are. I love rural small town America. Now if we keep it that way.
Great documentary. Rural cops should train urban cops.
rural cops wont survive one day. The amount of calls they get and the amount of nonsense that the inner cities has been plagued for years has not changed. Protocol is alot more strict .
NICE JOB OF AUDIO FINISHING , FINEST IHAVE SEE IN A LONG TIME ......
Birds of a feather flock together Great Cops & Great Citizens .
this is what big cities need, smaller departments with its own officers that remain in the same area in order to achieve better community policing that we so desperately need.
So much respect for those up and coming officers. May God watch over them.
I only trust female police officers
My grandpa always told me (who is a huge gun guy) if I'm ever in a hostage situation, to not worry. He'll just shoot through my shoulder.
Thank you for being there!!
That guy that was driving when he had his license revoked lmao he knew when he seen the cop to just stop
I go thru Mitchell all the time when I head west.
Me too😃😃👍🏻
Bless those officers who retain their humility and humanity in the course of being trained to possibly take another human life. No one ever hopes it comes to that, but the emotional strain it has to put on officers, just having to know that, someday, it might..
Now that I am, I found out how much I would had love to help people as serving as police officer. people don't understand the responsibility that a officer has. it is not a easy job, and yet people don't respect that. All my respect to all law enforcement who try to do the right thing.
"It was supposed to be fun and exciting"
My dude, you joined the force for ALL the wrong reasons.
“The first train missed him” haha what did it turn ?? 😅
Thankyou to all law enforcement officers, I appreciate you
Great show. Nebraska has the right attitude on training rural cops to be part social worker and part cop. I lived in extreme Nor. California in a town with 1,000 people. The sheriff was appointed and had an ironclad grip on the city council. He was arbitrary in enforcing the laws and worked hand in hand with the council to stop ANY advancement of the community. This meant a hostile environment for any newcomers or help with the local immigrant community, who did all the hard work in the fields. It was a totally incestuous bad situation and lead to a town with boarded up storefronts and only three active business left in a once thriving town. Bad City Council plus corrupt Cops = Bad result and people leaving.
God bless you all. Greetings from Poland - your brother.
hello brother. we live in a small town on the river bank. Tidewater Virginia USA
Amazing , had no idea we still have such gaps in training out there ...
Although I came to this country 5 years a go and although I have two medical degrees and working on a third one, I still wanna serve the community as a law enforcement officer... especially in those rural areas where they need help the most. God bless America!
Just be a doctor. You're helping more people doing that then police work.
Mandy Murphy we love you! Keep up the good work. 💪💪💪💪💪
Good job police officers & sheriff deputies, salute your courage & hard work
Much respect to the Sheriff for treating the local DUI offenders just like any other DUI offenders and prosecuting them!
Those locals whom opposed the Sheriff taking the DUI offenders off the road might feel differently if one of their Community was hurt by a drunk driver.
This was an interesting and objective insight into the issues facing local Police Officers.
Employing Officers from within the local Community can only be a good thing for both the Police Department and the Community.
Great comment
0:28 I am instantly reminded of the great film classic The Last Picture Show (1971) with Ben Johnson, Cybil Shepard, Timothy Bottoms and Jeff Bridges.
Outstanding. Thank you.
