Lee County To Help Patrol Donnellson

Fort Madison, IA – Lee County will provide law enforcement assistance to another rural community. Donnellson has started the search process for a new police chief. While that is underway, Sheriff Buck Jones will serve as interim police chief. He says the agreement between Donnellson and the county, which has been approved by the Board of Supervisors, will require him to serve in an advisory role. Jones says the pay scale for the Lee County Reserve Officers, who are hired by the town, is still being finalized. Donnellson is also looking for individuals interested in joining the town's own reserve officer unit. This is the second community to contract with Lee County for law enforcement services. Jones is also serving as West Point's interim police chief.
