Sidney NSP office to move, add troopers

The Nebraska State Patrol’s Sidney office is moving locations.

“The state patrol is moving out of the department of roads office,” Sgt. Lee Jacobsen told the city council on Tuesday night. “We will be moving down to 742 Jackson Street.”

The patrol’s new building is located just south of the State Farm Insurance building.

“The situation is, the last six years we’ve closed down two sub-stations, one in Kimball and one in Chappell and we’re consolidating those in Sidney,” Jacobsen said.

The Nebraska State Patrol will soon have four new troopers stationed in Sidney.

Jacobsen came before the council on Tuesday night to ask for five designated law enforcement parking spots for the patrol’s new location. The city approved the new parking spots.
