Effective immediately, the Mitchellville Police Department has implemented a revised sector patrol routine to further enhance public safety and community engagement across the city.

New Sector Patrol Initiative

All officers will now rotate through four designated patrol sectors—A, B, C, and D—throughout their shifts, dedicating 15 minutes per hour to each sector. This initiative is designed to ensure comprehensive and consistent police presence in every part of the community during all shifts.

Focus Areas and Community Interaction

When officers are assigned to Sector D, they will place additional focus on traffic safety along Center Avenue and conduct walk-throughs at local businesses, including Casey's and Dollar General. Officers will spend no more than five minutes inside each business per patrol cycle, helping maintain strong community relationships while prioritizing high-visibility patrol.

Accountability and Transparency

Officers are required to document each sector patrol, including all business walk-throughs, as special assignments in the department’s reporting system. This process promotes accountability, transparency, and performance tracking as part of our ongoing commitment to serving Mitchellville’s residents and business community.

Contact for Questions

Community members with questions about the new patrol procedures or suggestions for improvement are encouraged to contact the Mitchellville Police Department directly.

These changes are now in effect. We appreciate the public’s support and look forward to continuing our efforts to keep Mitchellville safe and welcoming for all.

Arrest of Phillip Slaughter and Carl Rainey on Forgery Charges
On August 21, 2025, officers from the Mitchellville Police Department responded to a report of individuals attempting to pass counterfeit currency at the Dollar General in Mitchellville, Iowa.

Narcotics, including ma*****na, were also recovered from the vehicle.

Phillip Slaughter and Carl Rainey, were subsequently arrested and taken into custody on forgery-related charges. They are currently being held pending further legal proceedings.
