Knoxville Police Department
Consists of thirteen certified
officers and seven civilian positions, which include one administrative
assistant and four full-time and two part-time dispatchers. In addition
to providing the traditional municipal police services – administration,
supervision, patrol, investigation and community relations – The
department operates a communication center for emergency services for
this community of 7,731 as well as rescue operations for a large
portion of Marion County.
Although the vast majority of the Department’s enforcement activities
and services are conducted within the City’s five square miles,
the Department works closely with the Marion County Sheriff Department,
Iowa
State Patrol, and area police departments. The Knoxville Police Department
is an active member of the Warren/Marion County Drug Task Force.
The
Department’s annual operating budget is slightly less than
one million dollars. With recent expansion of police facilities; recent
updated communication and police equipment; and a replacement program
for vehicles, no major law enforcement capital equipment improvements
are foreseen for the near future.
The Department actively encourages open
communication with its citizens and the many visitors to our community.
