Chief's Welcome

Chief of Police, Samuel E. Hargadine

On behalf of the men and women of this department welcome to the I.C.P.D. web site. Whether you are a full time resident, a student or are just researching Iowa City feel free to contact us if there are any questions about area law enforcement or public safety. Our goal is to continually seek ways to improve the mission of I.C.P.D. and we appreciate your input.

Our effectiveness and success hinges on our ability to communicate with you. Please let us know how we can improve our service to you and public safety. Solving problems is what we do and we can’t assist without knowing what the problem is. On this site you will find links to your beat officers and I encourage you to get to know them.

For those interested in a career in law enforcement, consider applying for the Iowa City P.D. This is a growing, vibrant city and a great place to work and raise a family. Click here if you are interested in an application.

Thank you for your interest in the Iowa City Police Department.
