The Storm Lake Police Department is partnering with other law enforcement affiliated agencies in an effort to support one of their own. Assistant Chief, Patrick Diekman, says the wife of their colleague, Lt. John Bauer, was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Megan, he says, is a part of their family as well.

John grew up in the Carroll area, outside of Willey, and graduated from Kuemper High School before attending Buena Vista University. Since then, Diekman says, he and Megan both have dedicated their lives to serving others.
