The Lincoln Police Department has been in the process of promoting a new Deputy Chief, and they have finally decided on the perfect candidate. 

Lincoln Police Chief Joe Meister indicates that at the January City Council Meeting, Officer Christy Fruge was promoted to Administrative Deputy Chief of Police. She will now oversee all community-based programs, School Resource Officers, and the DARE program. 

Chief Meister feels that this move will be a great benefit to the officers and needs of the administrative side of policing, but says it won't stop there. He thinks the entire department will run more smoothly from this point on. 

Deputy Chief Fruge was recently recognized for her work in the DARE program, which is a big focus of the Lincoln Police Department.
