The "Use of Force Review Committee" met on January 23, 2014. It was composed of
Captain Steffen, Sgt. Lalla and Sgt. D. Brotherton.
For the review of submitted reports in October, 40 Officers were involved in 14 separate
incidents requiring use of force. In November, 51 Officers were involved in 23 separate
incidents requiring use of force. 53 Officers were involved in 17 separate incidents requiring use
of force in December.
All issues or concerns were identified and addressed at previous levels of review.
Officers are reminded results of use of force section should be completed in every case that a
report is submitted. If an officer is completing a report for the destruction on an animal the
suspect injury section should be left blank. Any injury on an officer or suspect will be
photographed. Officers should not cut and paste from their incident report to complete the UOF
form.
Of the incidents reviewed over the three month period, a Taser was discharged on two
occasions, and on two occasions a Taser was displayed which resulted in compliance without
deployment. There was two SRT call out where officers displayed assigned weapons towards
multiple people. In twelve other incidents officers responded to calls where their firearm was
displayed. In two incidents officers fired their sidearm to destroy injured animals.
Of the 74 incidents reviewed, 10 suspects and 3 Officers sustained superficial injuries as
a result of the use of force.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

�~I.® CITY OF IOWA CITY
Date: February 6, 2014
To: Citizens Police Review Board
From: Marian K. Karr, City Clerk
Re: New Video
City staff, including our city cable division, will begin production of an education video
concerning the Citizens Police Review Board shortly. Preliminary thoughts include:
• 3-4 minutes in duration
• Use of simple and clean graphics
Below are sample questions we suggest using in interviews with Commission Members. Ideally
we would like every Member to answer each of the questions on tape and a cross
representation will be chosen from each. However, if you would like to concentrate on one
question, we can accommodate that as well. Our goal is to have participation from every
member. I will beat your February 11`h meeting for further discussion.
1. What is the Citizens Police Review Board, and the duties CPRB?
2. What are the powers of the CPRB?
3. Who can file a CPRB complaint, and what time frame can a complaint be filed?
4. What is the process after a complaint is filed?
5. Who can serve on the CPRB?
6. Maybe Catherine Pugh (legal counsel) might want to summarize why the Board can't do
more?
7. Maybe Stefanie Bowers (Equity Director) might want to present information on other
options available
