The Albia Police Department would like to introduce you to our newest Police Officer, Scott Karsjens. Officer Karsjens and his family comes to us from the small town of New Virginia, Iowa, and draws from an extensive Military Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Technician, local government and small business owner background. Additionally, Officer Karsjens has been a K-9 handler as a Military Police Officer in the Army, and is a Veteran of both the Gulf War and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Officer Karsjens will be attending the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy starting in January.Welcome Aboard! THE ALBIA POLICE DEPARTMENT TAKES PART IN THE UPCOMING SPECIAL TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT PROGRAM (sTEP) NOVEMBER 24-30, 2008.As the Thanksgiving travel period approaches, the Iowa Governor's Traffic Safety Bureau supports the mobilization of more than 300 law enforcement agencies across the state in a n effort to make this holiday safer for all motorists. The effort will take place November 24-30, 2008 and officers will be on in force along Iowa's roadways to promote safe driving through the compliance of Iowa's traffic laws. This effort is the first Special Traffic Enforcement Program (sTEP) event for 2008-2009 program year, in which members of the Albia Police Department will be taking part in. Officers will focus on speed, seat belts and drunk drivers. Each and every day, law enforcement officers respond to collisions where the use of a safety belt would have reduced injuries or prevented loss of life. With help from the motoring public, education and law enforcement, Iowa has reached 92.2% seat belt usage, up from 91.4% a year ago. (The City of Albia has currently reached 94%.) Please join us and spread the word to fellow Iowans and members of our community to remember to buckle up every time you travel on Iowa roadways.
