New Year: New You, how about the New You uses all your signals in the car and doesn’t break the law? Thank you for your cooperation!

With the Christmas season upon us we would like to kindly ask that you refrain from using flashing blue and red lights. We’ve had complaints from criminals that they believe they’ve happened upon the fuzz, which leaves them scrambling to hide their gun and drugs, throw out their drink, buckle-up, throw their phone down, and have to drive correctly. That’s a lot of stress for anyone, but especially at Christmas! We thank you for your cooperation abs hope you all have a great Holiday Season.

You hide it, we find it! There is an old saying that the nose knows. K9 Joep again has helped our officers take some poison of the streets! Now two lucky people are getting a free stay at the Polk County Jail.

Happy Thanksgiving Polk County! Enjoy your time with your loved ones today on this holiday. If you are out and about drive safe as there will more traffic than usual. Also be careful if you get out shopping later in the evening and into the night. As always if you need us we are here for you. Happy Thanksgiving

No one likes getting a speeding ticket. Most police officers don’t enjoy writing them. However, after seeing that speed is the number one factor for crashes in Polk County that’s why we enforce the speed limits. This driver tonight was doing 108 mph in a 55 mph zone. He will now be getting a free nights stay at the Polk County Jail. Slow down and watch your speed. If not we will be stopping you or speaking with your family about an accident you may be involved in.

If you traveled down Substation Road today, you may have been in for some entertainment. In the pictures above, you can see Sergeant Dyer and Detective Bowman doing something that wasn’t taught in our Field Training manual...wrangling donkey’s. After a tedious time (one donkey was a little stubborn), both donkey’s have been secured, and are awaiting to be returned to their home. Sergeant Dyer and Detective Bowman will now be carrying some lead rope, and feed in their patrol vehicles. Special thanks to Director Crawford of Polk County Animal Control for the assistance. Have a safe night Polk, and call us if you need us!

K9 Joep just wanted to say that you guys should shower now and again. It’s not polite to have body odor. Now to find the bad men tonight!

If you’re already POST certified, we are hiring. Come apply, and work where you can police and have the support of the admin and community!

Well good morning Polk County! Unfortunately for this unlicensed pharmacist we had to close up shop for him last night. However, we were able to get two stolen guns off of him and another firearm, some Methamphetamine, some cocaine, marijuana, and a cocktail of pills. Guessing he didn’t have luck on his Cash 3 tickets , and that’s why he is still dealing. Either way more poison off the streets and guns out of the criminals hands! Have a great day!

PSA: If you’re going to hide the stolen four wheeler in your out building, please hide your ounce and a half of Methamphetamine in a different location. We do enjoy a more difficult game of hide and seek. The end result was two people arrested, four wheeler returned, and lives saved from removing this toxin from the streets! Have a great weekend Polk County!

Slow down or you’ll be getting to meet us in person and not through Facebook.

We understand that elections and debates get heated. We also understand you may not agree with what a candidate says or stands for. However, these are not valid reasons to call 911. We kindly ask that if you’re going to scream at your tv or candidates that you’re polite and warn neighbors. Put the dog in another room as it may scare him also. Lastly, Snoopy is not eligible to be a write-in candidate either. You may now carry on with your regular scheduled Wednesday! We love you Polk County and hope you have a good night.
