Welfare Check at Multiple Residences in Polk County

Summary: Des Moines Police units conducted a welfare check at two different addresses after receiving a request for service. Officers coordinated their response, checked the first location, found no issues, and then proceeded to a second address based on new information about the resident. Attempts were made to contact the resident by knocking and phone, and eventually, contact was made with a family member who was en route. The situation was resolved without incident.
