Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed. You cannot drive safely unless the task of driving has your full attention. The power is in your hands. #TextingKills

Iowans statewide share our grief in the loss of Sgt. Jim Smith #462. The Patrol and Sgt. Smith's family have announced the schedule of public funeral services and the establishment of the official Iowa State Patrol Sergeant Jim Smith Memorial Fund: ow.ly/rKJb50EmZhY
