(Radio Iowa) – The Marshalltown city council has approved the purchase cameras that will scan license plates. Police Chief Mike Tupper says the cameras will help his department. “That’s one of the advantages to these cameras, because if we’re looking for stolen car we’re looking for a wanted person that information is always attached to the license plate, so we get that instantaneous hit on something if again the car is stolen or somebody’s wanted,” Tupper says. Chief Tupper says officers will be able to react if the cameras identify a stolen car or someone with a warrant.

“Our police officers in the field would receive immediate notification that your car is at whatever intersection,” he says, “and so if somebody was closely my head over that way to try to find you.” The money used to pay for the cameras is coming from the revenue received from the speed cameras that were put up earlier this year.

“When I was considering different careers within medicine, the podiatry providers I met were the happiest doctors, and patients absolutely loved them. Plus, I liked the complexity of what they did — there is a lot going on in your foot — so I knew it was a good fit for me,” said Dr. Egertsen. A native of Laurens, Iowa, Dr. Egertsen graduated from the University of Iowa and the Des Moines University College of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. He completed his residency with the Department of Veterans Affairs — Maryland Health Care System.

I’m thankful for the years I had with the VA, and the timing is finally right for me to move home. I’m excited to be at
Cass Health because I like to work in a hospital setting. I think it’s what is best for the patient, and it is important to me that the patient always stays the priority.”
