Cascade Police Image

The Cascade Police Department serves the City of Cascade with emergency and non-emergency services. The services include, but are not limited to police emergency, crime prevention and education for organizations, civic groups and private business. The Department is involved in an unofficial School Resource Program and works closely with the schools within the school district. The police department is based on community oriented police services.

The City of Cascade sits within the jurisdictional boundary of Dubuque County and Jones County. The Cascade Police Department is an active participant with the Jones County Emergency Response Team (JCERT) and is a member of the Iowa Law Enforcement Intelligence Network (LEIN) in Region #3.

The department works closely with the Dubuque County Sheriff’s Office and Jones County Sheriff’s Office to provide protection to the community and area surrounding Cascade.

The Cascade Police Department consists of two full-time and three part-time police officers. The command staff include Police Chief Fred Heim and Assistant Chief Mike Wheaton. The part-time staff includes Ryan Evans, Bob Urbain, and Dave Konichek.

The department has one full-time patrol vehicle and another vehicle that can be used for emergencies or as a second patrol vehicle during busy times of the year. The primary patrol vehicle is equipped with a video camera, stop sticks, and emergency services equipment. The newest piece of equipment to the Cascade Police Department is the X26 Taser.

In August of each year the Cascade Police Department helps to sponsor a Crime Night Out. On this night the community comes together at the Cascade Community Park to enjoy entertainment, food, and demonstrations by community members and business owners.
