I'd like to submit a question for the CPRB forum next month: Ankeny, Iowa police earlier this year used military -style equipment to forcefully enter a private home in pursuit of non-violent criminals. What kind of SWAT or "military -style" equipment do Iowa City officers have access to and what are the guidelines for when to use that equipment?
