MRAPs (mine resistant ambush protected) vehicles are the newest hand-me-downs to come from the military to law enforcement agencies in Iowa.

The latest of seven MRAPs to arrive in Iowa was received last week by the Washington Police Department. (More…) Police departments in Mason City and Storm Lake also have received MRAPs, as well as sheriffs in Buena Vista, Jasper, Scott and Story counties.

Is this a good trend or something we should be concerned about?
