Department of Criminal Investigation
Contrary to some popular belief, the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation is not, nor has it ever been, an arm of the State Patrol. It is, however, within the jurisdiction of the same entity that is in charge of the Patrol, the Iowa Department of Public Safety. And the two entities work together on several cases that might fall under the jurisdiction of both departments. An example of which would be cases of certain illegal activities, such as manufacture of illicit drugs, distribution of illicit drugs, and violations of interstate laws (i.e. bootlegging and interstate flight to avoid prosecution), aside of this, the Department of Criminal Investigation's other duties include postings at casinos, and race tracks, as well as criminal forensics teams (Iowa's equivalent of other city and county Crime Scene Investigators).

“I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”

“All his works might well enough be embraced under the title of one of them, a good specimen brick, “On Heroes, Hero-Worship, and the Heroic in History.” Of this department he is the Chief Professor in the World’s University, and even leaves Plutarch behind.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“No political party can ever make prohibition effective. A political party implies an adverse, an opposing, political party. To enforce criminal statutes implies substantial unanimity in the community. This is the result of the jury system. Hence the futility of party prohibition.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
