NORTH LIBERTY– North Liberty loves its dogs and the North Liberty Police Department (NLPD) is no different.
The department believes a future canine unit would be a big asset to the community by helping human officers with searches, apprehension and tracking. But, starting a K-9 program isn’t cheap– initial costs run $75,000 or more.
That’s where Dean and Katie Colony and their pumpkin patch come in.

NORTH LIBERTY– Michael Pentecost was named the City of North Liberty’s streets superintendent by the city council, effective Sept. 14. Pentecost has been with the City of North Liberty since 2001, most recently as assistant water superintendent.
