IOWA CITY, Iowa (KWWL) - December 15 was a day many people had circled on their calendars: the deadline for a possible new community policing model.
City Manager Geoff Fruin presented 34 recommendations to the City Council Tuesday night with the goal of regaining community trust for the police force. Our foundation is strong and it s ready to pursue whatever future lies ahead, Fruin said before starting his presentation.
The 34 recommendations cover response to mental health crisis calls, the need for the city to support various social services in town, priorities for training officers, more transparency around policing data and adding several civilian positions to help the department.
