The Marshalltown Police Department is currently studying the feasibility of installing new mobile cameras to better control vehicle speed issues within the community.

According to Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper, the future use of mobile speed camera technology within the City of Marshalltown, in essence, lies in the hands of the Marshalltown City Council.

Mobile speed camera use is becoming more commonplace in many medium to large size cities throughout Iowa and the United States.

In Iowa, the cities of Cedar Rapids and Des Moines are among the larger metropolitan areas which are utilizing the modern day technology.
