The short answer: Annie is a black senior dog and the Chief Happiness Pawficer at Signal of Lincoln, the locally owned security company led by Owner and CEO Troy Nielsen. She does not write security plans or work posts, but she keeps morale high at our Lincoln office and has become a familiar face to the people who follow our team.
Security work happens at all hours, in all kinds of weather, and often when everyone else is asleep. A team that does that kind of work well needs people who look out for each other. At Signal of Lincoln, part of that job falls to Annie.
You will usually find her at our office on South 17th Street, holding down the couch during our team check-ins and greeting whoever walks through the door. She takes her role seriously: she has never missed a chance to make someone's day a little better.
Annie is a small reminder of something that matters a lot to us. Signal of Lincoln is a local, family-led business. We know our officers by name, and our clients know us by name. That kind of culture shows up in the work: officers who feel supported tend to show up, stay engaged and take pride in doing the job right.

No. Annie is our office dog and morale officer, not a working security dog.
If you stop by our Lincoln office, there is a good chance she will come say hello.
Signal of Lincoln is locally owned and led by Owner and CEO Troy Nielsen.
