Ottumwa Police Department

I've had a few chance meetings with our police officers because now and then I tend to go a little faster than I should. It's unintentional but it has gotten me a few speeding tickets (my own fault). The officers I have had contact with have all been very professional, polite and some even a sense of humor. I don't think we support our officers nearly enough. I truly appreciate the job they do! Even when they gave me the tickets I knew I was guilty and they were just doing their job.

I've only encountered one officer as yet, he responded to a minor accident I was in. The man made our month. He was professional- but kind and personable. He helped us out in a big way and I'll never forget that.

Ottumwa police Department. I have a granddaughter that turned 11 years old today. She doesn't understand why she can't have a birthday party. I tried to tell her. Poor children just doesn't understand.

I learned a chance to get Ottumwa newspaper to find out what I need to know a missing person reported missing 13, 14, and 20 different fact's about this what is the truth!

Very professional, quick responce time. I Appreciate what you do.

After mult calls on harassment made against myself, they have failed to assist and follow the restraining order and the injunction order. it has been endless system of calling here then there and back to them, with no answers. As it continues , and gets worst. So what is their jobs?

They wouldn't let me leave

Cop towed vehicle. No warning no knock on door. Then had the option to pay tow drivers but they only expect cash why would they hire a company that can't except all forms of payments. When suggesting to tow company that they get a card reader they started yelling and swearing and saying to f*** off at a woman all while the cop just stood they and listen and didn't stop them at all. Very disappointed that the cop would not step in and just tell them to do there job. Also disappointed that they would hire a company that only accept one form of payment. Plus they never told use any info on how to get the vehicle back

I lived in O town for years. They were always stopping me for trivial things (no license plate light, i was at a big intersection it was just me cop drove by just to tell me to turn my factory radio down, i was nowhere near residence or business). They're bullies.
