Iowa State Fair Police

A few weeks ago we were asked to assist the Mitchellville Police Department with their annual Shop with a Cop Program. We enthusiastically said yes! We may have had less than ideal conditions weather wise, but we had 17 excited kids that were counting on us to show up for them. After a little bit of shopping it was off to the Fairgrounds to wrap presents and eat some pizza. We would like to extend our thanks to the Mitchellville Police Department for the invitation. We would also like to thank our friends at 7 Brew Coffee for graciously donating hot chocolate and all the fixings for the kids as well as gift bags for each child’s parent. This was a team effort and we are honored to be a small part of it.

We are proud to help celebrate the retirement of Cpl. Larry Bush. Cpl. Bush served the citizens of the State of Iowa and five different agencies for over 41 years as an officer, corporal, and chief.

The Iowa State Fair Police Department proudly assisted with the Mitchellville Police Department Shop with a Cop event today. Five officers from the ISFPD along with Bette Morris, Secretary for the Administration building, partnered with the Mitchellville Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, Urbandale Police Department, and the Polk County Sheriff's Office. The Iowa State Fair also provided a bus to assist in transporting the 26 children to Target and back to the Mitchellville Police Department to help ensure they had gifts for Christmas.
