Chief Steve Scott
Broken Bow Police Department wishes you a safe and happy Fourth of July! Broken
Bow Police Chief Steve Scott advises the public to remember to obey the laws and be safe with fireworks. In
Broken Bow, City Ordinance #1002 states that fireworks may be used only during the following times: June 25 to July 3, from
9 a.m. to 11 p.m., and July 4, from 9 a.m. to 12 midnight. The police
will generally warn citizens the first time they discharge fireworks before or after these hours. The second time, a citation
may be issued for disturbing the peace, at the officer's discretion. City Ordinance also states that it shall be unlawful to: §
Use, discharge or explode any fireworks
within any building or in the vicinity of any person or property in a manner that exposes such person or property to injury
or damage. § Throw any fireworks from or into a motor vehicle, onto any street, highway or sidewalk, at
or near any person, into any building or into or at any group of persons. In the event of dry weather or other weather hazards, the ordinance also gives the City Council the right to ban or further limit the sale/discharge of fireworks. Nebraska law prohibits the discharging of illegal fireworks,
such as bottle rockets, M-80’s, cherry bombs and other fireworks of this type. For your own personal safety and the safety of the community, we ask that you
use caution with your display. And after
your celebration, please clean up your mess by gathering up the refuse and disposing of it properly. If you have any
questions about fireworks, please feel free to give me a call at 872-6424.
Let's promote Broken Bow Pride by cleaning up
our community!

Broken Bow Police Department purchased three new
ProGuard gun racks this fall, thanks to a $930 grant from the Nebraska Friends of the National Rifle Association, according
to Sergeant Ryan Anderson. The new racks are mounted
between the two front seats, where they will accommodate both a shotgun and one of the patrol rifles which the department
acquired about a year ago. The racks are easy for officers to reach, and lock down the guns when not in use. The department’s old gun racks were mounted overhead, behind the front seat, which made them awkward
to access. They also only had space for a shotgun. “The
new racks are more readily available and allow the department to respond to emergencies quicker and safer,” Anderson
said.
