Another back to school reminder! Many students are riding a moped to and from school. Students ages 14 & 15 MUST take a Iowa D.O.T approved moped class before being able to operate a moped legally. Even if they have an instruction permit for a vehicle, they MUST take the moped course. Ages 16 to 18, MUST have a moped license, IN ADDITION TO THEIR DRIVER'S LICENSE, but are not required to take the moped class. Questions? Be sure and ask one of the Lisbon Officers.

As we get ready to head back to school this week, here is a good reminder for many of the "NEW" to the road drivers. Minor's School Permit is a privilege, review with the teen driver in your home, the rules of driving with a School Permit. The 2 biggest violations are: Driving off route/not to a school event and having more than 1 non related passenger. We'll be watching for violations and enforcing these laws.

After receiving complaints about aggressive/pushy door to door salesmen within the City today, 3 subjects were stopped and identified by police this afternoon. None of the subjects had a valid permit to solicit business door to door in the City of Lisbon. They were given a cease and desist notice and directed out of the City. As a reminder, you do NOT have to open your door to anyone you don't know. If you wish to engage the person knocking on your door, talk to them through a screen door or through a window. This makes it more convenient to be able to end the conversation on your terms by closing the door or window on them. Tell them "No" and advise them to get off your property. If they refuse to leave, contact Police. Non-Emergency number for an Officer to respond is 319-455-2452.

An easy Monday puzzle of Spot the Difference. (Hint: there's only 1 😉) Take a look at the front of your residence from the street, both in daylight and at night when it's dark and ask yourself if Emergency Responders could find your house quickly in the event of an emergency. Having your address visible ON YOUR HOUSE is the best way to know Police, Fire and Ambulance can find you in an emergency. Help us help you faster! Display your address on your residence.

USE CAUTION/HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC. Ongoing construction for the bypass near Sutliff Rd is creating dust storms resulting in reduced/no visibility at times. Large side dump trucks will be hauling dirt via Hwy 30 east from Mount Vernon to S Washington St-south to Sutliff Rd overpass for the next few days. Use caution and pay attention for trucks turning from and to Hwy 30.
