About 3 years ago, CRPD brought on a crisis intervention counselor to work as a law enforcement liaison & help officers with calls involving people with mental health issues. It was the first type of program in this region & has been emulated by other law enforcement agencies.

Our thoughts remain with the Linn County Sheriff’s Office deputy who was seriously injured last night, his family, and his colleagues at LinnCountySheriff.

Police officers and firefighters are on the scene of a serious injury accident on Hwy 30 near I-380. Hwy 30 is not accessible from southbound I-380. At least 2 victims have serious injuries as the result of a rollover accident. An air ambulance will be arriving on scene shortly.

The Joint Communications Agency, which handles emergency and non-emergency calls for the Police Department and Fire Department, is experiencing issues with the NON-EMERGENCY line 319-286-5491. 911 emergency calls are still working and being answered.

However, if you are attempting to call for a non-emergency, a temporary number is available until the regular number can be restored. Please call 319-286-5155.
