In the month that celebrated Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, it is nice to know that the citizens of Clarion have a few more people to appreciate as the local police department gets back up to being fully staffed. Recently officers Mike Knapp and Austin Biggs started with the department, and both are enjoying the job so far.

Both officers were hired in the middle of 2020 and then spent a few months at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy before returning to Clarion last fall. They have now completed their Field Training and will be able to settle into a normal routine.
