Police Department

Chief of Police: Allan Glandon

 

In 2009 the Sigourney Police Department purchased a radar trailer using funds from the Iowa Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau and local option sales and service tax. The radar trailer allows drivers of approaching vehicles to see their vehicle’s speed in real time. Any Sigourney citizen that notices a speeding problem in their neighborhood may call the Police Department and request that the radar trailer be set up in their area.

Scam Information

The Sigourney Police Department is advising all citizens to be cautious of scams operating in our area.  The Police Department has received reports of persons calling Sigourney residents requesting banking information, notification of sweepstakes winnings, or someone posing as a grandchild needing financial assistance.  There are various other scams in our area.  To get more information about these scams or consumer advisories you can check the Iowa Attorney General’s website at http://www.iowaattorneygeneral.org/consumer_advisories/index.html .

 If you get a call that may be suspicious, don’t give any personal information.  If the caller poses as someone with a bank, don’t give any personal information and call your banker to verify the original call.  If you receive a call that you have won a prize and they need your bank account information or need you to pay a fee first, don’t give any personal information or pay any fee and call the Sigourney Police Department.  Likewise, if someone poses as a grandchild in financial distress, you should call another family member to verify the information before you do anything else.

You can always call the Sigourney Police Department at 641-622-2345 for help if you have been contacted by a suspicious person or have become the victim of a crime.
