'We see you': LPD's Victim Assistance Unit shares resources after fourth domestic violence homicide

LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Heavy on the minds of many are questions surrounding what resources are available for those experiencing domestic violence.

With the tragic passing of Tracy Henman, the Lincoln Police Department’s Victim Assistance Unit shared its various outlets.

“We like to help them navigate their situation with as many resources as possible, because often victims of domestic violence are very isolated,” said Beth McQueen, the Victims Assistance Unit Manager.

The unit assists those in need with filling out protection order affidavits.

McQueen said those orders are an essential step, but aren’t always guaranteed.

“In various counties across the state, there’s a varying rate of how often they’re approved,” she said. “In our county, it probably hovers around 50%.”
