The Sheriff’s Citizen Academy will provide attendees a look inside the Marshall County Sheriff's Office, which is the most multi-faceted law enforcement agency in our field. During the course of ten weeks, citizens will be introduced to a large variety of topics throughout the several divisions of the Office.
The Citizen Academy is designed to give attendees a broad overview of the numerous functions entrusted by the Iowa Code to the Office of Sheriff. While this training session is not designed to train citizens as a law enforcement officer, attendees will have a better understanding of what a career in law enforcement entails.

The schedule is as follows:
March 21 – Introductions, Patrol Procedures, Traffic Enforcement

On Friday morning, law enforcement officers will be posted on the rooftops of Dunkin Donuts locations across Iowa. No, they aren't guarding the donuts --but doing something even more important which is helping to raise awareness and donations for Special Olympics Iowa and their athletes.
