The Fallen Officer: Trooper Kyle McAcy, 31, was responding with other troopers to a crash on Interstate 80 near mile marker 424, between Ashland and Greenwood. During that response, Trooper McAcy was outside his patrol unit and was struck by a snowplow. The Circumstance: "Our NSP family is devastated today,” said Colonel John Bolduc, Superintendent of the Nebraska State Patrol. “Kyle was a dedicated trooper, a devoted public servant, and most importantly a good friend to many in Omaha and beyond. His loss is being felt by countless people. Please keep his family, friends, colleagues, and community in your hearts as they deal with this unimaginable loss.” "He was always so excited to talk about what he was doing as a trooper, you know, like, you can just tell when people love what they do," said McAcy's former homeroom teacher at Millard West, Tim Royers. Trooper McAcy, 31, was a ten-year veteran of the Nebraska State Patrol. He was a graduate of Camp 56 and wore badge #302. Trooper McAcy has served in the Patrol Division, Carrier Enforcement, and as a Crisis Negotiator. He was stationed in Omaha. Mission Accomplished: "Yesterday, I was able to attend the funeral of Nebraska Trooper McAcy, badge #302. Afterward, I was blessed to present a card and charitable gift of money to the Trooper McAcy's fiancée. Because of the generous donations from people across the country, this was possible. If you don't think that a small generous donation doesn't matter, the thank you and hug from Trooper McAcy's fiancée was validation that it does."

The Fallen Officer: Deputy Sheriff Hector Cuevas, 36, was killed on March 17th, 2025 when his patrol car struck a pole at the intersection of El Evado and Seneca roads just before 11 a.m. The Circumstance: Deputy Cuevas was in pursuit of a stolen vehicle that had been reported to the department just minutes earlier. During the high-speed chase, Deputy Sheriff Cuevas' vehicle collided with another car and then a nearby power pole. The impact of the crash split the patrol vehicle in half, critically injuring Deputy Sheriff Cuevas. Although first responders rushed to administer aid, he passed away at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. “He was a cop’s cop,” Sheriff Shannon Dicus shared. “The kind of law enforcement officer we all strive to be — a man who could engage with a hardened gang member one moment and reassure a frightened child the next.”  Hector’s dedication extended beyond the badge. He was an active member of his church and a beloved football coach in Rialto, having mentored young athletes at Carter High School. He also played for the San Bernardino Spartans, a team of local law enforcement and firefighters. Deputy Sheriff Cuevas had served with the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department for six years. He is survived by his wife, two children, his parents, and his brother and sister. Mission Accomplished: "I had the privilege to represent Give Blue Hope by showing support and attending the services for San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department Deputy Hector Cuevas Jr. Deputy Cuevas was killed during a vehicle pursuit in Victorville, California. What a beautiful tribute to a true warrior. Deputy Cuevas' mother spoke and gave a beautiful message and the blunt truth about the potential loss when we walk out the door and not knowing if you will come home. With the wonderful donations, Give Blue Hope was able to provide a small charitable gift to the family. 💙🙏"
