October 10, 2024 Steve Schwaller

(Arnolds Park)– The city of Arnolds Park is expanding its police force. The City Council Wednesday evening approved the hiring of an additional officer to the department. Chief Al Kruger says it’s needed to keep up with the city’s growth…

“With new developments, new housing developments going in, currently there’s two under construction at this point in time. We have a lot more condos going into our area and we just need it for the population growth in the summertime is increasing every month, every year, so we need the extra patrol.”

He says the current staffing level isn’t sufficient to keep up with what’s going on…

“Currently we have four full-time officers with two shared officers with the city of Okoboji. One of those shared officers is a shared investigator.”
