Iowa State Patrol

Now here is a truck that really should not have been driving through Iowa over the weekend.

Driving down Interstate 380, something that stands out is the rectangles painted in the left, passing lane.

It's not the car that makes the man (or woman) in uniform protecting our communities and states each day.

The officer was charged for the crime in November of last year, and $225,000 in Iowa tax dollars was awarded to the victim.

You see the signs, you hear the rumors, but are they true? Yes.

A special renovation project in Independence, including the creation of a Mustang statue, will help honor fallen state trooper, Jim Smith.

It took three local law enforcement agencies to end the pursuit.

Traffic deaths in Iowa are up a significant amount. The Iowa State Patrol is now taking to the skies to crackdown on speed.

The Governor and other state officials will honor two fallen Iowa State Trooper on Friday.

The state will consider multiple funding sources to purchase and install the equipment.
