The goal of the Board of Commissioners is to make public policy and manage County affairs in an open and efficient manner, manage County assets in a responsible manner to enhance their value and benefit to Polk County citizens, and provide essential and mandated County programs in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of the County.

Current Commissioners serving Polk County include Craig Pope (Chair), Lyle Mordhorst, and Jeremy Gordon.

Polk County's Local Public Safety Coordinating Council (LPSCC) was established by Senate Bill 1145 (1995) to coordinate local criminal justice policy among affected criminal justice entities and since 2014, develop and approve their county’s Justice Reinvestment Grant program.

To carry out this mission, the LPSCC, chaired by retired judge Charles Luukinen, hold quarterly meetings. Time-limited and project-specific subcommittees also meet to work on key issues in the public safety system.
