Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska
Iowa Tribe Police Department
Overview
Honor in Service. Strength in Community.
Since 1996, the Iowa Tribe Police Department has proudly served the Iowa
Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, surrounding communities, and guests of the
Tribe’s gaming and business enterprises. Established in May 1996 through
federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Justice, the department
has grown from its original foundation into a full-service law enforcement
agency dedicated to protecting the community and providing professional
police services 24 hours a day.
The mission of the Iowa Tribe Police Department is to serve and protect the
Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska with integrity, professionalism,
accountability, and respect. We are committed to building lasting
relationships through community partnership, proactive policing, and fair
and consistent enforcement while honoring the values and sovereignty of the
Iowa Tribe.
Our approach to policing goes beyond responding to calls for service. We
believe strong communities are built through trust, visibility,
communication, and meaningful relationships between law enforcement and the
people we serve. Our officers are committed to being present in the
community, addressing concerns proactively, and treating every person with
dignity and respect.
As the Iowa Tribe Police Department moves forward, we remain focused on
strengthening our organization, supporting our officers, embracing modern
policing practices, and continually improving the services we provide. We
are proud of our history, committed to our responsibilities today, and
focused on building an even stronger department for the future.

Community Assistance & Administrative Services
The Iowa Tribe Police Department provides a variety of services designed to

Farm Security Checks and Residential Security Checks
The Iowa Tribe Police Department offers Farm Security Checks and
Residential Security Checks to help provide added peace of mind to

additional patrol and observation of these areas, particularly during
nighttime hours or when property owners are away.
Residential Security Checks are available for residents who will be away
from home for vacation, travel, or an extended period. During the requested
timeframe, officers will periodically check the residence for signs of
suspicious activity, damage, or other concerns.
To request a Farm or Residential Security Check, complete the appropriate
request form and submit it to the Iowa Tribe Police Department by email,
mail, or in person during regular office hours.
These services are part of our continued commitment to proactive policing,
community partnership, and protecting the people and property of the Iowa
Tribe.
