Chief’s Message
Dear Citizens of Marshalltown,
We are pleased to present the 2011 Annual Report, which details the
activities of the Marshalltown Police Department. I hope this report
thoroughly explains the efforts the police department makes to deliver
quality and professional police services in Marshalltown.
The Marshalltown Police Department serves a community of
approximately 27,500 residents. The department consists of forty-three
sworn police officers, seventeen civilian employees, and is supported in its
duties by a group of citizen volunteers and a reserve police unit. The
Marshalltown Police Department is responsible for the preservation of
human life, public peace, protection of the rights of persons and property,
prevention of crime, and the enforcement of all federal, state and local
laws within the boundaries of the City of Marshalltown. The department
also operates an emergency communications center for all public safety
services in Marshall County.
In 2011, the Marshalltown Police Department responded to over
13,910 calls for service and filed over 3,900 police reports. The Marshall
County E911 Center answered over 17,000 911 calls in 2011. This is a
significant workload for a police department of our size and staffing levels.
It was a very busy year for the police department, and demands for police
services continue to increase each year.
I am happy to report that violent crime in Marshalltown continues to
be a rare occurrence. However, we continue to be concerned about the
number of investigations and calls for service that pertain to narcotic
offenses, family violence, child abuse, and sexual assault crimes. The
police department partners with other community stakeholders in an
effort to address the problems of addiction and family violence. We take
these issues very seriously and will continue to work with the community
to combat these problems.

2011 Annual Report

Chief’s Message
In 2011, the Marshalltown Police Department made 111 arrests for
operating while intoxicated offenses. Impaired driving is a significant public
safety problem, and in 2012 we will continue to concentrate on enforcement
programs as it relates to alcohol and drug offenses. Domestic assault
crimes (152 total reports) and sexual abuse crimes (42 total reports)
continue to be areas of concern. We continue to work with our community
agency partners and the citizens we serve to combat these crimes. In 2011
the Marshalltown Police Department investigated 286 burglary crimes.
Burglary crimes decreased from 2010, when the department investigated
327 burglaries. Overall crime reports decreased 8% from 2010.
The Marshalltown Police Department will promote a proactive traffic
enforcement program with the goal of achieving voluntary compliance with
traffic laws. Traffic enforcement programs are important public safety
initiatives and also assist police departments with crime prevention. The
men and women of the Marshalltown Police Department take traffic safety
issues seriously and are dedicated to saving lives through the enforcement
of occupant restraint laws, speed ordinances, and impaired driving statutes.
In 2012, the Department will become more involved with quality of life
issues impacting our neighborhoods and the community as a whole. We are
working on a plan to become more involved with code enforcement and
nuisance abatement issues. We will also be continuing and building upon
our efforts to work with property owners and landlords in the community to
help insure the community members have safe housing options.
The men and women who work for the Marshalltown Police Department
continue to embrace the philosophy and goals of the City Council. We
deliver service to our community with pride and professionalism, recognizing
we are always ambassadors of the City. Despite budget challenges, ever
changing technology needs, and significant changes within the Department
this past year, we clearly understand our objective to serve the residents
and guests of our community in a superior manner.

Chief’s Message
Average is not acceptable in our Department and we recognize this
high standard of professionalism is an expectation of our customers. We
are privileged to deliver law enforcement services for the City of
Marshalltown.
I am very proud of the Marshalltown Police Department and the great
group of employees serving our community. I have asked our staff
members to serve the community with Passion & Compassion. We will
continue to open up and maintain lines of communication with all
community members and we will work with the community to address and
solve problems. Marshalltown is an outstanding community and the
employees of the Marshalltown Police Department will partner with the
community throughout the coming year to make Marshalltown the best
that it can be.

TASER usage officers were
required to attend TASER

training. Training was provided
by department instructors who
had previously received
certification from TASER, Verbal
Judo and the Institute for the
Prevention of In-Custody
