Local, state and federal law enforcement officials say they are monitoring potential threats in Iowa leading up to inauguration day. Following the violence at the U.S. Capitol, the F-B-I has warned of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitols. Iowa officials say they have not received threats to the Capitol in Des Moines specifically, but Iowa Department of Public Safety Commissioner Stephan Bayens says more officers are patrolling the statehouse as a precaution.

(as said) “We’ve increased both our uniform and non-uniform presence up at the capitol,” he says. “Additionally, the Iowa Department of Public Safety has a division of intelligence and so we have a fleet of analysts that are constantly examining social media, are working with federal and local partners.”

The F-B-I’s Omaha field office is asking those with information about potential violence at upcoming protests or events to call 402-493-8688.
