Chief Darius Potts is an Iowan at heart.
The new Ankeny Police Chief is an Iowa State University graduate, whose wife was born and raised in Iowa.
Chief Potts was named the city’s new Chief of Police in July.
“Chief Potts will be an excellent leader for the Ankeny Police Department. His leadership ability and experience will support the continuous growth and the City’s commitment to provide a safe, welcoming community for Ankeny residents,” City Manager David Jones said in July. “He has a remarkable background in law enforcement and I am confident he will serve our community well.”
