Safeguard Iowa Partnership

It looks like winter weather may be upon us here in Iowa. The National Weather Service is advising of a wintery mix of rain and snow starting late this afternoon and continuing through Saturday evening for a large portion of the state. Expect accumulations of five inches or more in parts of central Iowa. Be careful out there!

The Board of Directors of Safeguard Iowa Partnership announces the selection of Jeff Ritzman as its new Executive Director. Jeff joins Safeguard Iowa after more than 30 years in law enforcement. He is looking forward to serving Iowans in this new capacity.
