National Police Week 2023: As Iowa State Trooper, Solberg promotes public safety


Jason Solberg joined the Iowa Department of Public Safety in 1993 and, two years later, started as an Iowa State Trooper.

National Police Week has been held each year around mid-May since 1962, when President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation designating May 15 as Peace Officers Memorial Day. The period serves not only as a time to honor those officers who have made the ultimate sacrifice, but to recognize all members of law enforcement who continue to serve and protect their communities.
