Iowa State Fair Police

Iowa State Fair Police The Iowa State Fair PD was created Jan 1, 2018 & is staffed by state certified police officers 24/7.

We encourage members of the public who visit the grounds, as well as, neighbors surrounding the fairgrounds, to help us maintain a safe and secure environment by reporting suspicious activity and being our eyes and ears to deter crime. It is our mission to insure that the Iowa State Fairgrounds continue to be a safe and inviting environment for everyone and ask that you help us in that effort.
