Through a combination of retirement, attrition, and growth of the Pella Police Department, plenty of new faces arrived on the force in 2022.

Pella Police Chief Shane McSheehy says with the addition of a K-9 unit and staff leaving for a variety of reasons — including retirement, there have been a lot of changes to the personnel in their hallways.

McSheehy says he’s excited to see how the new officers grow in Pella and how the department works toward other goals such as accreditation. Hear more from McSheehy about the Pella Police Department in 2022 on the Let’s Talk Pella podcast.
