Attention Parents, Future X-Games Wannabes, and Tiny Sons of Anarchy

We are once again asking for your assistance with the kids riding e-bikes and e-motorcycles through the park, ball fields, and around by the pool.

To be crystal clear: these are not designated riding areas. The ball fields are for baseball and softball. The park is for families trying to enjoy without getting clipped by a battery-powered bad decision.

Somehow, a few kids have decided these spaces are the perfect place to test speed, weaving skills, and their absolute confidence that consequences are something that only happen to other people.

They are not.

Parents, please handle this before the Police Department has to get involved. Because “he’s just being a kid” stops working as an excuse when someone gets hurt, property gets damaged, or your child turns the park into a low budget Fast & Furious: Middle School Drift

And before the comment section warms up with the usual “we rode bikes as kids and survived” speech: cool story. We also used lead paint, no seat belts, and lawn darts. Not every old idea deserves a reboot.

If this continues, officers will be addressing it directly. That may mean stops, possible citations, impounding of said conveyance, or those same kids discovering that pushing an e-bike home is a lot less fun than showing off on it.

Help us keep the park and ball fields area safe for the people using them the right way.

Lastly, the parents who have children with these motorized vehicles please see the below:

Nebraska Revised Statute 60-6,117:
Parental duties; child less than sixteen.

"The parent or guardian of any child who is less than sixteen years old shall not knowingly permit any such child to violate any provision of the Nebraska Rules of the Road."

Valley Police Department
Where “what else are they supposed to do” is still not a defense.

Community Briefing - On April, 11th 2026 at approximately 0900 hours, Valley Police Department was dispatched to 215 N Spruce (Con Amor restaurant) for the report of a fire. When the on duty Officer arrived he was met by an active fire on the stove starting to climb up the wall.

The on duty Officer sprung into action and utilized the fire extinguisher out of his patrol car and was able to suppress the fire before it could reach the ceiling and prevented the building from sustaining more damage. Valley and Waterloo Fire arrived as the fire was starting to flare back up and extinguished what remained of the fire.

Because of the quick actions of Valley Police Department and Waterloo/Valley Fire, the damage was contained to the stove area preventing major damage and saving the connecting buildings. Another example of great teamwork!! Well done.

April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and Valley Police Department is participating in NHTSA’s and NDOT "Put the Phone Away or Pay" campaign.

NHTSA reports that in 2023, 3,275 people were killed and nearly 325,000 were injured in distracted-driving crashes nationwide.

Additionally, the National Safety Council reports that distracted driving has led to 40,946 crashes, 14,018 injuries, and 119 fatalities in Nebraska since 2010.

Now for the part some of y’all apparently need spelled out with crayons:
Put. The. Phone. Down.

Your “hey u up?” text can wait. Your blurry Snapchat can wait.
And the group chat will somehow survive without your brave contribution of three laughing emojis and “brooooo.”

Because here in the real world, distracted driving gets people hurt, gets people killed, and gets drivers tickets while they sit there acting confused like this all happened to them by magic.

So here’s the deal:
Put the Phone Away or Pay.
Pay with a citation.
Pay with points on your license.
Pay with a wrecked vehicle.
Or worst of all, make somebody else pay for your bad decision.

Drive like people matter.
Because they do.
