Chief McHale and LCSO Deputy Daubs joined SRO Daubs for today’s installment of “Cops, Kids and Culvers” at Linn Grove Elementary School. Cops, Kids and Culvers was started by Molly Mulherin, the Student Support Specialist at Linn Grove, several years ago as a positive way to introduce some of her students to local law enforcement during lunch at the school. Thank you Molly AND thank you Culver's!

Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services Recognized for Having the Best Revocation Rates in the State! 👍 The Sixth Judicial District Department of Correctional Services (serving Linn, Johnson, Iowa, Benton, Tama and Jones counties) has recently been recognized for its efforts in keeping its revocation rate the lowest of all eight Iowa correctional districts. Bruce Vander Sanden, Director of the Sixth District DCS, attributes this accomplishment to the dedication of staff, a focus on ensuring clients are in the right treatment classes, and utilization of graduated sanctions and incentives. “It is our priority to properly assess risk and to make sure those we supervise are receiving the right interventions to promote success,” said Vander Sanden. Keep up the good work!
