Training never stops.
Our goal is to keep our community and officers safe. To help achieve this goal, DPD officers regularly train to improve communication, decision-making, and response skills under pressure.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at some of that training.
The DPD was honored to participate in the 2026 Murph with Dubuque Fire Department, Dubuque County Sheriff's Office, Iowa State Patrol and families! Great job to all!
The only thing better than the weather this morning was the amazing people we got to spend some time with! Thank you to @MiracleLgeDBQ for inviting us to PLAY BALL this morning! We had a great time!
This Memorial Day weekend, remember to do your part in keeping our roads and yourselves safe. Slow down, use a sober driver, and buckle up! In 2025, 121 people who died in Iowa traffic crashes were not wearing a seatbelt. Have a fun and SAFE holiday weekend!
Congratulations to our newest officer! Officer Eli Naumann was sworn in this morning and is has now begun his career at the DPD! Welcome, Ofc. Naumann!
During Police Week, we honor the law enforcement officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their communities and country. We’re grateful for the dedicated chaplains who organized today’s memorial service and for our community’s continued support. #PoliceWeek
