The Indianola Police Department is continuing to make community engagement a priority, which continued over the year of 2024. Indianola Police Chief Brian Sher tells KNIA News some of the highlights of the IPDCOP program, the Indianola Police Department public outreach program, include the Elves in Blue, donating Thanksgiving meals, the Public Safety Open House, the Veterans Breakfast, and more.

Chief Sher also said the IPDCOP program runs entirely on donated funds, and works to provide back to the community throughout the holiday season, and anyone interested in donating can stop by the police department.
