Marshalltown Police Department Chief Mike Tupper and Marshall County Sheriff Steve Hoffman navigated a wide range of challenges relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For the county sheriff’s office, the immediate concern was keeping its jail population safe. To date, no inmates have been infected with COVID-19, according to Hoffman.
“So in a very dreary year, that is certainly a bright spot and a testament to our medical and security staff,” he said. “That’s not to say that our staff between the jail and patrol have been insulated from it. We have been affected by that. But the protocols in place for PPE and intake appear to be a huge success.”
