Lancaster County Deputy Sheriff's Association

FOP 29's member extend our condolences to the family of the trooper killed in the line of duty this morning. Our prayers for God's comfort to friends, family and co-workers.

Prayers for the family. Happening in our own jurisdiction please keep all who worked the incident and all who knew Officer Bartlett in your prayers as well. Rest in peace brother. We have the watch.

Our team experienced a great loss yesterday evening when Corrections Investigator Ross Bartlett died in a multiple-vehicle crash near Ceresco. In addition to his work at NDCS, Ross also served as a Ceresco police officer, and the accident occurred while he was on duty as a police officer.

Ross joined NDCS in 2017, and he also served multiple communities across our state during his 30-year career as a certified law enforcement officer.

Ross was committed to the agency in many ways, but especially when he set out to recruit out-of-state candidates to relocate to Nebraska and work at NDCS in 2022. He made many efforts to connect with candidates, share about his experiences working at NDCS, and follow up with them after they were hired to ensure they had the resources they needed to be successful in our agency.

Ross will be deeply missed.
