Iowa Tribe Police Department

The Iowa Tribal Police Department has been serving the residents of the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska’s reservation, the surrounding communities, and Casino customers since its inception. The Police Department was started with a Federal Grant through the Department of Justice in May of 1996. Since then, they have provided 24-hour police coverage for the past 25 years. The Iowa Tribal Police Department consists of four full-time and four part-time officers, including the Chief of Police, a police Sergeant/Rangemaster, and the Administrative Assistant. Because our reservation lies in Kansas and Nebraska, our Police Officers are certified in both Kansas and Nebraska.

Farm Security Checks and Residential Security Checks

The Iowa Tribal Police Department provides Farm Security Checks and Residential Security Checks for Reservation residents and tribal members located in the surrounding area. If you keep farm equipment or machinery in the fields around the Reservation area, the Iowa Tribal Police Department will check on your equipment at night and when you are not present. Similarly, Residential Security Checks are available if you are going on vacation or away from your residence for an extended time. The Iowa Tribal Police Department will check on your residence daily until you arrive home. If you would like to request one of these checks, fill out the Residential Security Check form or the Farm Check form and mail it to or drop it off at the Police Department.
