Today, Chief Robert Duncan had the honor of promoting two outstanding leaders within our organization. Sergeant Jordan Ehlers has been promoted to Lieutenant, and Detective Andrew Tindall has been promoted to Sergeant.
A unique connection between these two: they were hired on the same day in February 2016 — and, over ten years later, promoted on the same day in 2026. Throughout their careers, both have made a tremendous impact on crime reduction and the safety of our community.
Lieutenant Ehlers most recently served as the supervisor of the Violent Crime Apprehension Team (VCAT), where he led efforts to reduce gun violence in our community. Under his leadership, VCAT has achieved significant success. He has also played key roles with the K9 Unit and the Tactical Team. Lieutenant Ehlers will now serve as the Late Swing Shift Watch Commander.
Sergeant Tindall most recently served as a detective with the Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task Force, where he worked numerous major narcotics cases at both the state and federal levels.
He previously served with VCAT and is a member of the Tactical Unit. In addition, Sgt. Tindall is a longtime leader in the Iowa National Guard and has proudly served our country on multiple deployments. Sgt. Tindall will now serve as one of the leaders on Third Shift Patrol.
Please join us in congratulating Lieutenant Ehlers and Sergeant Tindall as they take the next steps in their careers. Well deserved!!!
