      In Memoriam
      Frank H. Soukup
      Slain in the Line of Duty December 16, 1966

      Detective Frank Soukup was slain in a gun battle at a local motel while questioning some out-of-town suspects in a bogus check operation. Two of the gunmen were fatally wounded in the exchange of shots between the investingating officers and the suspects, one of them felled by shots fired by Detective Soukup after he was mortally wounded. It was later determined that the shots which killed the officer were fired by Donald W. Rodgers, one of the gunmen killed. Detective Soukup was the first officer in the history of the Lincoln Police Department to be slain in the line of duty.

      Frank Soukup was 53 years of age and had been a member of the Lincoln Police Department for ten years. In November of 1966 he was awarded the People and Law Award sponsored by the Junior Chamber of Commerce. Frank was an outstanding police officer, completely dedicated to his chosen profession of law enforcement. His survivors include his widow and three sons.
