OUR ADVOCATE

We are fortunate to have Mike Gronstal represent us, our students, our schools and our profession. In the current political climate it is vital that you understand that we need YOU. Your time, your talent, and--eventually--your treasure will be needed to make sure that we reverse the trend of legislators who are willing to sell out our children for corporate tax cuts.

Report shows crime is down in Iowa

Crime declined in Iowa in 2009, according to a new report from the Iowa Department of Public Safety.

The Uniform Criminal Report shows that the total number of crimes declined 2.4 percent from 2008 to 2009. Crimes against people (including sexual assaults) decreased 1.3 percent.

Through our work in the Legislature, we’ll continue this positive trend by listening to Iowans and working with our law enforcement professionals who are on the front lines every day. To read the full Uniform Criminal Report, go to www.dps.state.ia.us/commis/ucr/.
