Ankeny, Iowa Speed Traps

The Ankeny City Police seem to feel they need to patrol the Interstate for the Iowa Highway Patrol. I’m sure it has nothing to do with raising extra revenue.
FWIW, Many of the Des Moines suburbs patrol the Interstates more regularly than their city streets.
The police will park behind barriers and on overpasses and give citations that probably truly fall in the realm of the Iowa Highway Patrol. They cite Ankeny residents, old or young, equally with through traffic.

Cops sit in the funeral home with Ka Band radar. They also use laser occasionally. The also sit just south of 9th street. Also the highway patrol has been sitting with their radar on as well. Posted 25mph, but most traffic goes at least 30-35mph.
