Humboldt, IA – The City of Humboldt swore in two new members of their police department at Monday’s city council session.

Officer Daniel Cotterill is rejoining the department as a full-time officer and Officer Lonny Floen is currently serving as a part-time officer. Officer Cotterill started back with the department on February 25 after serving the department in 2024. Officer Floen began his part-time tenure with the Humboldt Police Department on January 7.
