CITIZENS POLICE REVIEW BOARD A Board of the City of Iowa City 410 East Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240-1826 (319) 356-5041 June 11, 2014 To: City Council Complainant == City Manager Sam Hargadine, Chief of Police Officer(s) involved in complaint CIi From: Citizen Police Review Board i_ Re: Investigation of CPRB Complaint # 14-01 This is the Report of the Citizens Police Review Board's (the "Board") review of the investigation of Complaint CPRB # 14-01 (the "Complaint"). BOARD'S RESPONSIBILITY Under the City Code of the City of Iowa City, the Board's responsibilities are as follows: 1. The Board forwards all complaints to the Police Chief, who completes an investigation. (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(A).) 2. When the Board receives the Police Chief's report, the Board must select one or more of the following levels of review, in accordance with Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(1): a. On the record with no additional investigation. b. Interview /meet with complainant. c. Interview /meet with named officer(s) and other officers. d. Request additional investigation by the police chief, or request police assistance in the board's own investigation. e. Perform its own investigation with the authority to subpoena witnesses. f. Hire independent investigators. 3. In reviewing the Police Chief's report, the Board must apply a "reasonable basis" standard of review. This means that the Board must give deference to the Police Chief's report, because of the Police Chiefs professional expertise. (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(13)(2)).) 4. According to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(2), the Board can recommend that the Police Chief reverse or modify the Chief's findings only if: a. The findings are not supported by substantial evidence; or b. The findings are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious; or c. The findings are contrary to a police department policy or practice, or any federal, state or local law. 5. When the Board has completed its review of the Police Chief's report, the Board issues a public report to the city council. The public report must include: (1) detailed findings of fact; and (2) a clearly articulated conclusion explaining why and the extent to which the complaint is either "sustained" or "not sustained ". (Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(3)).) 6. Even if the Board finds that the complaint is sustained, the Board has no authority to discipline the officer involved. BOARD'S PROCEDURE The Complaint was initiated by the Complainant on 1-31-14. As required by Section 8-8-5(B) of the City Code, the Complaint was referred to the Chief of Police for investigation. The Chief's Report was filed with the City Clerk on 3-27-14. The Board voted on 4-21-14 to apply the following Level of Review to the Chiefs Report: Request additional investigation by the Police Chief or City Manager, or request police assistance in the Board's own investigation, pursuant to Iowa City Code Section 8-8-7(B)(1)(d). Specifically, the Board requested that the Chief provide a copy of all audio and video recordings of the incident. The Board met to consider the Report on 4-21-14, 5-19-14 and 6-11-14. Board members reviewed audio or video recordings of the incident. a FINDINGS OF FACT On 01-23-2014, the complainant, as part of his job duties as a private security officer, called in a trespass complaint to the Iowa City Police Department. While responding to the call, Officer A observed the complainant leaving the area in a marked private security vehicle. Officer A activated his lights and stopped the Complainant. During the face to face interaction with the Complainant, Officer A initially spoke to the Complainant about the trespass issue but then began discussing the Complainant's driving status. Officer A sounds irritated and questions the Complainant at length about his driving status, specific of work hours, and the need to travel to other locations. ALLEGATION 1 — Lack of Professionalism: Sustained. On 01-23-2014, Officer A responded to a trespass complaint at Town & Campus Apartments. While investigating the complaint, Officer A came into contact with the complainant. The investigation shows that the Complainant was polite throughout the interaction while Officer A sounds irritated and displays a lack of professionalism in his communication with the Complainant. Iowa City Police Department Rules & Regulations — Patrol Officer Responsibilities — Section 270.04 (M) state: "Remain courteous at all times, and approach all phases of his/her work in a professional manner." Officer A's behavior was rude, disrespectful, and unprofessional. His conduct failed to meet the expectation set forth in this policy. ALLEGATION 2 — Harassment: Not Sustained The Complainant states he believes he is being harassed by Officer A. Iowa Code §708.7(1)(b) defines "harassment" as follows: A person commits harassment when the person, purposefully and without legitimate purpose, has personal contact with another person, with the intent to threaten, intimidate, or alarm that other person. As used in this section, unless the context otherwise requires, "personal contact' means an encounter in which two or more people are in visual or physical proximity to each other. "Personal contact' does not require a physical touching or oral communication, although it may include these types of contacts. The Complainant's harassment claim is based on the incident on 1-23-14, and two other incidents which occurred on 9-5-13 and 11-18-13. On 9-5-13, Iowa City Police Department (ICPD) responded to a suspicious person call at Dolphin Lake Point. While investigating the complaint, Officer A discovered that the Complainant and his private security partner were both carrying realistic looking Air Soft guns in holsters on their duty belts. Both the Complainant and his partner were cited and released for violating the City ordinance of Carrying Weapons. Officer A's purposes in contacting the Complainant were to investigate the suspicious person complaint, and to enforce the city's ordinance regarding the possession of weapons. Those are legitimate purposes under the law, and there is no evidence Officer A intended to threaten, intimidate or alarm the Complainant. Thus, Officer A's conduct on 9-5-13 did not constitute harassment. The second incident occurred on 11-18-13. The Complainant was observed by Officer A pulling into the CVS Pharmacy and looking at movies in the Red Box machine. Officer A believed the Complainant's license was barred at the time and made contact with him to review his temporary restricted license. Officer A charged the Complainant with driving while barred. Officer A's purpose in contacting the Complainant was to enforce Iowa's law regarding the permissible driving conduct allowed by a temporary restricted license. That is a legitimate purpose under the law, and there is no evidence Officer A intended to threaten, intimidate or alarm the Complainant. Thus, Officer A's conduct on 11-18-13 did not constitute harassment. The third incident occurred on 1-23-14, and is summarized above under the board's discussion of the Complainant's "Lack of Professionalism" allegation. Officer A's purposes in contacting the Complainant was to investigate the Complainant's call regarding a trespasser at Town & Campus Apartments, and to enforce Iowa's law regarding the permissible driving conduct allowed by a temporary restricted license. Those are legitimate purposes under the law, and there is no evidence Officer A intended to threaten, intimidate or alarm the Complainant. Thus, Officer A's conduct on 1-23-14 did not consti)uje harassment. c' C� — (p 4 y N COMMENTS Pursuant to City Code section 8-8-7(B)3, the Board believes discipline is approprrafe i'P DEPARTMENT MEMO #14-05 TO: Chief Hargadine FROM: Captain Doulas S. Hart RE: 2nd Quarter 2014 Use of Force Review DATE: July 31, 2014 The "Use of Force Review Committee" met on July 22, 2014. It was composed of Captain Hart, Sgt. Gaarde and Sgt. Brotherton. For the review of submitted reports in April, 28 Officers were involved in 20 separate incidents requiring use of force. In May, 32 Officers were involved in 29 separate incidents requiring use of force. 22 Officers were involved in 23 separate incidents requiring use of force in June. All issues or concerns were identified and addressed at previous levels of review. Officers are reminded of the following: Officers and Supervisors need to complete the date and time their UOF narratives are completed, injuries for Officers and suspects mast be documented in a UOF report including a description of the injury and that the injury was photographed, the supervisor who gave permission to dispatch an animal should be documented by the Officer, when possible, Officers will give a verbal warning prior to deployment of a conductive energy device and document this or the reason they were unable to do so in the use of force report, aiming of the conducted energy device's dot or an arc display is considered a use of force. Of the incidents reviewed over the three month period, a Taser was discharged on seven occasions, and on six occasions a Taser was displayed which resulted in compliance without deployment. There were no SRT call outs where officers displayed assigned weapons towards multiple people. In twelve other incidents officers responded to calls where their firearm was displayed. In nine incidents officers fired their sidearm to destroy injured animals. Please contact me if you have any questions.

OPS-02.1 POLICE VEHICLE PURSUITS Original Date of Issue General Order Number February 10, 1999 99-01 Effective Date of Reissue Section Code December 5, 2013 OPS-02 Reevaluation Date Amends January 2015 1 Previous version of 99-01 1.2.7. 1.3.2. 41.2.1. 41.2.2, 41.2.3 INDEX AS: Use of Force Vehicle Pursuits Reports Reference (see "INDEX As:") rn M Tire Deflation Devices' v ui 0 I. PURPOSE It is the purpose of this policy to state the guidelines to be followed during vehicular pursuits. II. POLICY: The initiation of a pursuit is justified when, in the officer's judgment, a suspect exhibits the intent to avoid arrest using a motor vehicle to flee. Initially the officer must determine if the necessity of immediate apprehension outweighs the level of danger created by the pursuit. This evaluation must continue throughout the course of the pursuit by the officer and his/her supervisor. All pursuits will be conducted in strict accordance with section 321.231 of the Code of Iowa and all emergency vehicles will utilize both audible and visual signaling devices when engaged in pursuits. OPS-02.2 III. DEFINITIONS 321,231 Authorized emergency vehicles and police bicycles. 1. The driver of an authorized emergency vehicle, when responding to an emergency call or when in the pursuit of an actual or suspected perpetrator of a felony or in response to an incident dangerous to the public or when responding to but not upon returning from a fire alarm, may exercise the privileges set forth in this section. 2. The driver of any authorized emergency vehicle, may: a. Park or stand an authorized emergency vehicle, irrespective of the provisions of this chapter. b. Disregard laws or regulations governing direction of movement for the minimum distance necessary before an alternative route that conforms to the traffic laws and regulations is available. 3. The driver of a fire department vehicle, police vehicle, or ambulance, or a peace officer riding a police bicycle in the line of duty may do any of the following: a. Proceed past a red or stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as may be necessary for safe operation. b. Exceed the maximum speed limits so long as the driver does not endanger life or property. 4. The exemptions granted to an authorized emergency vehicle under subsection 2 and for a fire department vehicle, police vehicle or ambulance as provided in subsection 3 shall apply only when such vehicle is making use of an audible signaling device meeting the requirements of section 321.433, or a visual signaling device approved by the department except that use of an audible or visual signaling device shall not be required when exercising the exemption granted under subsection 3, paragraph "b" of this section when the vehicle is operated by a peace officer, pursuing a suspected violator of the speed restrictions imposed by or pursuant to this chapter, for the purpose of determining the speed of travel of such suspected violator. a. Police bicycles shall be operated in accordance with General Order 00-07 Police Cyclist. b. The operator of a police bicycle, may, in the line of duty, do any of the following; Proceed past a red or stop signal or sldp sign, but only after slowing down as may be necessary for iiife operation; Exceed the maximum speed limits soiobg p8 the�� driver does not endanger life or property. C-�� — 5. The foregoing provisions shall not relieve the driver-of-2in — I� authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with d-ie i regard for the safety of all persons, nor shall such provisions protect the driver from the consequences of the driver's regoess disregard for the safety of others. C-D Pursuit - For the purpose of this policy, pursuit means chasing a fleeing suspect who is exceeding the posted speed limit or driving in an evasive or unsafe manner. OPS-02.3 IV. PROCEDURES A. Initiation: The pursuing officer must carefully consider the safety of persons and property before engaging in a vehicular pursuit. Some of the factors that should be considered when determining whether to initiate, continue or terminate a vehicular pursuit are: 1. Time of day— high speed pursuits occurring during a time when there is a high level of activity (businesses, schools), are normally more hazardous than those occurring during periods of low activity. 2. Volume of vehicular traffic — pursuits occurring during periods of heavy traffic flow are more hazardous than those occurring at other times. 3. Location of pursuit — pursuits through residential areas or along streets near or adjacent to schools are normally more hazardous than those in lightly populated areas. 4. Weather conditions. 5. Road conditions. 6. Speed involved. 7. Nature of the offense — pursuits for persons suspected of involvement in crimes against persons are viewed as more justifiable than those for persons suspected of traffic or other misdemeanor violations or property crimes. However, there shall be no assumption that the commission or suspected commission of a felony constitutes automatic authorization to pursue by vehicle. 8. The condition of the police vehicle should be considered. 9. Consideration should be given to the driving skills of the pursuing officer. 10. Consideration should be given to whether the offender can be identified and therefore apprehended by other means. B. Officers shall be familiar with and use the following Pursuit Decision Matrix as guidance in determining whether to initiate or continue a pursuit. The Pursuit Decision Matrix is very similar to the Use of Force Continuum as set out in the Department's Use of Force policy. It is a guide designed to assist the officers in their use of discretion and shall be followed when making vehicular pursuit decisions. The degrees of risk associated with vehicular pursuit in specific circumstances are defined as follows,- PURSUIT DECISION MATRIX GUIDES LOWER RISK- 1. Marked vehicles- 2. Straight roads, good surfaces, clear line of sight <rri 3. Few intersections ?' - 4. Few or no pedestrians 5. Good weather o 6. No hazardous maneuvers by violator 7. Speeds at or less than 20 m.p.h. over the posted limit 8. Officer is calm and in control 9. Lack of special circumstances (i.e., school zones, hospitals, etc.) 3SWIPM MODERATE RISK 1. Some intersecting streets (i.e., residential area) 2. Light pedestrian traffic 3. Moderate traffic, little congestion 4. Speeds 20 m.p.h. greater than the posted speed limit 5. Officer generally calm, under control 6. Some hazardous, but not extreme maneuvers (i.e., crossing center line to pass vehicles, sudden lane changes) by the violator. HIGH RISK 1. Frequent intersecting streets (i.e., a business district) 2. Poor weather, slippery streets, low visibility 3. Blind curves or intersections, narrow streets 4. Numerous pedestrians 5. Heavy, congested traffic 6. Speed twice the posted speed limit, or greater than 80 m.p.h. 7. Extremely hazardous maneuvers (i.e., driving against oncoming traffic, failing to stop for red lights) by the violator 8. Numerous vehicles in pursuit 9. Officer excited, not in full control of emotions 10. Existence of special circumstances (i.e., school zones, hospitals, etc.) NOTATION The courts have decided that the officer will be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene (Graham V. Conner). With this in mind, officers should give serious consideration to all of the factors before deciding to initiate a pursuit and continue to evaluate the need to pursue versus terminating the pursuit.

An:� officer's response must be consistent with the Pursuit Decision Matrix. C. Notification - When a motor vehicle pursuit is initiated, it shal-. e ° r71 immediately reported to the Emergency Communications Operator, -by t e initiating officer. The initial information will include: (s 1. The reason for the pursuit E' 2. The location, speed, and direction of travel 3. The description of the fleeing vehicle, including license plate number. 4. The number of occupants and description of occupants if observed. 5. The officer will update the information as it becomes available or changes. D. Communication Center Responsibilities - Communications during a pursuit is vital to the safe apprehension of the offender as well as the safety of the officers and bystanders. Emergency communications during pursuits will be conducted according to the established policies and OPS-02.6 practices of the Joint Emergency Communications Center and currently includes the following: 1. Immediately upon receiving information that an officer is in pursuit, the ECO will advise all other non -emergency radio traffic to move to another channel and give the pursuing officer priority use of Law 1. The ECO will advise the pursuing officer of any pertinent information concerning the area of the pursuit. 2. Notify a watch commander/supervisor of the pursuit in progress. 3. The ECO shall record on the CAD log all the information furnished by the officer during the pursuit. 4. As long as the pursuit is continued, the ECO will manage the pursuit communications by re -broadcasting transmissions of relevance to other units involved. 5. Contact surrounding agencies and advise them of the pursuit. We do not encourage involvement of other agencies in the pursuit other than for perimeter control and assistance in attempts to identify the violator unless specifically requested otherwise. 6. When the pursuit leaves the city limits, or it is reasonably imminent that it will, the ECO will contact the appropriate law enforcement agency with necessary information. 7. As time permits, the ECO will run vehicle and registered owner information and broadcast pertinent information. E. Supervisory Responsibilities 1. A supervisor shall assume control of all pursuits. This can be accomplished through radio communications. Supervisors will monitor all pursuits and approve any special tactic that will be used. 2. In the event the supervisor initiates the pursuit, they should relinquish that position as soon as another unit becomes available and assume control of the pursuit as specified in subparagraph (1) above. 3. The supervisor's foremost considerations shall be officer and bystander safety, methods of identifying the fleeing suspect, tactics to stop the fleeing vehicle, and coordination of all officers. 4. Supervisors shall intervene and correct any misuse of police personnel involved in the pursuit. 5. The supervisor may, at any time, order the termination of the pursuit when, in their judgment, the necessity of apprehension is outweighed by the level of danger created by the pursuit. 6. Supervisors shall also assure that sufficient patrol strengtLis -TJ maintained within the city to handle routine calls for-§Eyvide. 7. The supervisor in charge of the incident shall apprc Ony-specF tactics to stop the vehicle. tI- -U ill F. Pursuit Tactics rn , NOTE: Pursuit at high speeds under the best of conditions is an extremely dangerous situation. Any tactic contemplated when high speed is involved, requires advance planning, taking into OPS-02.7 consideration the factors surrounding the incident at hand. Safety is the foremost consideration. The following are some possible alternatives to consider when determining methods of stopping the fleeing vehicle. 1. Consider alternatives, through radio communication and the assistance of other police officers. A determination should be made as to whether the offender can be identified and apprehended later. 2. Use fuses or traffic cones to set up an apparent roadblock in advance of the pursued vehicle. Remember to clear the road and select a safe location. 3. Use tire deflation devices to bring vehicles to a controlled stop. Prior to deploying tire deflation devices, the officer should use the police radio to notify others of the pending deployment to include location of deployment. 4. Do not use the spotlight focused on the back window of the pursued vehicle. 5. Stationary roadblocks are prohibited 6. Moving roadblocks are prohibited. 7. Ramming is prohibited. 8. Specialized Police Vehicles a) Officers operating unmarked vehicles, equipped with visual and audible signaling devices, may engage in pursuits only when the fleeing vehicle presents an immediate threat to persons or property and then only until a marked unit is available to assume the pursuit, at which point the unmarked will withdraw and serve only in a support role. b) Police vehicles without emergency equipment, i.e., visual or audible signaling devices, SHALL NOT ENGAGE IN PURSUITS with one exception. In those cases where the fleeing vehicle presents an immediate threat of death or serious injury, they may participate until marked police units arrive. 9. Following the Fleeing Vehicle a) All units will be spaced in such a manner to allow time to react to evasive maneuvers of the fleeing vehicle or another police vehicle. b) Officers will not pursue the fleeing vehicle the wrong way on interstate or controlled access roadways, or offe way streets, unless specifically authorized to do so by a s - Qvis Ey "91 officer. 10. Aid to Outside Agencies - is a) Whenever units of another law enforcement a 't cy_Ve engaged in a pursuit and request assistance frt�rti the E"; Department, the requesting agency shall advise the�� emergency communications center of the nature of the offense and the description of the fleeing vehicle before a police vehicle from the Department joins in the pursuit. If an OPS-02.8 outside agency contacts an Iowa City officer directly, requesting assistance in a pursuit, it will be the responding officer's responsibility to advise a watch supervisor and communications of the request and the circumstances surrounding it. b) The watch commander/supervisor must approve the request before any action is taken. c) No more than two Iowa City Police Vehicles will actively become involved in a pursuit initiated by an outside agency. This DOES NOT preclude other officers from deploying tire deflation devices, blocking intersections or otherwise assisting the outside agency. d) In instances where a vehicle is pursued by two or more vehicles from an outside agency only one Iowa City Police Vehicle may actively become involved in the pursuit. The operator of this vehicle shall communicate the speed, direction of travel and other information to the Iowa City Emergency Communications Center. 11. Firearms a) Except under the following circumstances, shooting from or at a moving vehicle is prohibited. (1) When an occupant of the fleeing vehicle is utilizing deadly force against the police officer or other persons. (2) As a last resort to prevent death or serious injury to the officer or other person(s). (3) As a last resort to apprehend a person who has just committed a felony resulting in death or serious injury. b) The discharge of firearms shall not be utilized when the circumstances do not provide a high probability of striking the intended target or when there is a substantial risk to the safety of other persons, including risks of causing vehicle accidents. 12. Number of Pursuit Vehicles a) The number of Iowa City Police vehicles actively involved in a pursuit should be limited to two vehicles, a primary unit and a secondary unit. Other officers will be kept informed of the pursuit and should be in a position to assist if the pursuit enters their area of responsibility. b) There will be no caravan of police vehicles attempting to join c) the pursuit. There will be no attempt by officers engaged J9 the pursuit to pass other units involved in the pursuit unless�parrrLsionvtj given by the supervisor in charge of the pursgt�< d) Secondary units shall provide backup to the j74�.Mary-unit may assume the pursuit should the primary ugr pecgme gTI disabled. Secondary units should also ensurbAh-0t communications of pursuit status is maintained. cn 0 OPS-02.9 V. TERMINATION OF PURSUIT A. Pursuit shall be terminated under any one of the following reasons: 1. A supervisor or higher authority orders the pursuit terminated. 2. Upon the determination of the pursuing officer that, the danger to the officers or others in the area outweighs the necessity for immediate apprehension. 3. The offense is a traffic infraction, misdemeanor or other non-violent felony and the identity of the violator is known. 4. Visual contact is lost or the distance between the officer and the pursued vehicle is so great that further pursuit is futile. 5. The pursuing officer believes that the fleeing vehicle is being operated by a juvenile and the offense constitutes a traffic infraction, misdemeanor, or non-violent felony. 6. When there is an equipment failure involving the emergency lights, siren, radio, brakes, steering or other essential mechanical equipment. B. While not necessarily dictating immediate action, serious and continuing consideration should be given to termination of a pursuit under the following conditions: 1. Environmental factors such as rain, fog or darkness substantially increase the danger of the pursuit. 2. Road conditions are congested by traffic or pedestrians, such as, at rush hour or in the area of any school. C. The termination of a pursuit does not prohibit following the pursued vehicle while obeying all traffic laws, or remaining in the area to re -initiate contact if circumstances dictate. VI. REPORTING A. The pursuing officer will forward a written report detailing the pursuit to the Division Commander before completing their tour of duty. The watch supervisor will forward a written report to the Division Commander within 10 days unless an extension is allowed by the Commander of Field Operations. The reports shall include: 1. Evaluation of the circumstances involved. 2. If the initiating officer followed the required proced** c 3. Were there other units involved and did they follo%a#mceVures? B 4. Did communications perform their responsibilities?—m" 5. Did supervisors perform their responsibilities? IC-) 6. Was force used to stop the vehicle, i.e. controlled stdjrpirq s� devices? t ._ 7. Were procedures followed regarding termination of pursuits? 0 B. The supervisor of the unit initiating the pursuit shall be responsible for submission of a written analysis and critique of the pursuit through the chain of command to the Chief of Police. The report shall include an OPS-02.10 evaluation of the pursuit referring to the circumstances and adherence to this policy. C. A vehicular pursuit is deemed a "use of force", hence a Use of Force report must be completed. D. As a vehicular pursuit is deemed a "use of force", the Department's Use of Force policy and Use of Force continuum apply to vehicular pursuits. E. On an annual basis a documented analysis of all pursuits for the past calendar year shall be completed. This report shall be completed by the Sergeant of Planning and Research and be forwarded to the Chief of Police. The analysis is intended to reveal patterns or trends that indicate training needs and/or policy modifications. VII. TRAINING Officers shall receive annual training in the use of forcible stopping techniques, i.e. STOP STICK® or any other device/technique authorized by the Chief of Police or designee.

Therefore, it is the policy of the Iowa City Police Department that police officers shall use only that force that is reasonable and necessary to accomplish lawful objectives and effectively bring an incident under control, while protecting the lives of the officers and others. III. DEFINITIONS A. Deadly Force (Section 704.2, Code of Iowa) — For the purpose of this policy, shall mean any of the following: 1. Force used for the purpose of causing serious injury. OPS-03.2 2. Force which the actor knows, or reasonably should know, will create a strong probability that serious injury will occur. 3. The discharge of a firearm, in the direction of some person with the knowledge of the person's presence there, even though no intent to inflict serious physical injury can be shown. 4. The discharge of a firearm, at a vehicle in which a person is known to be. B. Serious Iniury (Section 702.18 Code of Iowa) — Means disabling mental illness, or bodily injury which creates a substantial risk of death or which causes serious permanent disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ.

Reasonable Force (Section 704.1, Code of Iowa) — Is that force and no more which a reasonable person, in like circumstances, would judge to be necessary to prevent an injury or loss and can include deadly force if it is reasonable to believe that such force is necessary to avoid injury or risk to one's life or safety or the life or safety of another, or it is reasonable to believe that such force is necessary to resist a like force or threat. Reasonable force, including deadly force, may be used if an alternative course of action is available if the alternative entails a risk to life or safety, or the life or safety of a third party, or requires one to abandon or retreat from one's dwelling or place of business or employment. D. Reasonable Officer: Objective Standard 1. "The 'Reasonableness' of a particular use of force must be judged from the perspective of a reasonable officer on the scene rather than with the 20/20 vision of hindsight. Graham v. Connor, 109, S.Ct. 1865, 1872. (1989) 2. "Reasonableness" also takes into account that police officers make judgments in a split second under circumstances that are "tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving - about the amount of force that is necessary in a particular situation. Graham v. Connor, 109 S.Ct. 1865, 1872. (1989) E. Less Lethal Munitions (as used in this policy) —Any Department approved weapons and/or munitions system designed to stun, temporarily incapacitate, or cause temporary discomfort to a person. F.

The Chief of Police may appoint one or more individuals to conduct a separate yet parallel (administrative) investigation into a use of force incident to ensure all personnel followed departmental policies and guidelines. VI. USE OF FORCE MODEL A. Police officers are given the unique right to use force, even deadly force, against others for legitimate law enforcement purposes. The right to use force carries with it an obligation to use that force in a responsible manner. Police agencies have an obligation to provide their employees with the policies, training, and tools necessary to accomplish their mission. Selection of a use of force response from the options articulated in this model will be based on: the skills, knowledge, and ability of the officer; the perceived threat and amount of resistance offered by a subject; and consideration of the situational framework. A defined Use of Force Model will enhance the department's ability to manage the use of force and will benefit the officer by providing guidance, resources, and options. B. Officers of the Iowa City Police Department shall follow the principles of the Use of Force Model. The model describes an escalation of force, which is based on a reasonable officer's perception of threat or resistance. As a subject's resistance escalates, more force options become available to the officer. When resistance stops, the officer must de-escalate, but only after control (e.g. handcuffing) is accomplished. Officers of the Iowa City Police Department must generally employ the tools, tactics, and timing of force utilization consistent with the Model's proscription and training protocols. Due to the fact that officer/citizen confrontations occur in environments that are potentially unpredictable, "tense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving" (Graham v. Connor, 109 S.Ct. 1865, 1872. (1989) the officer may utilize tools, taics, and timing outside the parameters of the Model. However, th6Vsg-,apgicatigg§, of force must meet the same test of reasonableness as thosch�ave �? been previously identified and approved by the Department. + —---. C.

PURPOSE The ultimate goal of traffic enforcement is to reduce the number and severity of vehicle crashes. Motor vehicle crashes continue to be a health and safety issue facing our community; these crashes can result in significant injuries and death to persons of all ages, along with a significant amount of property damage. Creating a safe motoring community can be achieved through education to citizens, liaisons and partnerships with other agencies within the community to promote safe driving, and preventative patrol combined with enforcement by officers. II. POLICY It is the policy of the Iowa City Police Department to report motor vehicle crashes pursuant to Iowa law. Members of the Department will investigate crashes in an attempt to determine the cause and identify violations of Federal or State law and/or City ordinance. Officers will enforce applicable laws consistent with the department's general order pertaining to Traffic. When called upon the Department will assist other departments or agencies in identifying and/or minimizing potential hazards to the motoring public. OPS-13.2 III. DEFINITIONS IV. PROCEDURES MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES The Iowa City Police Department will respond to all vehicle crashes which occur within the corporate limits of Iowa City. Members of this department will comply with state reporting requirements. (See Iowa Code 321.266) In incidents that do not meet the state mandated reporting requirements, officers will respond and will fill out an "accident report" for submission to Iowa City Police Department records section. All accidents will be sufficiently investigated to determine the facts surrounding the accident. In addition to the aforementioned reporting and investigation guidelines, the following motor vehicle crash investigation guidelines should be adhered to. A. Fatality or Serious Injury Crash. A motor vehicle crash resulting in a fatality or serious injury likely to lead to a fatality will be investigated as thoroughly as possible. An accident investigator trained through the level of Reconstructionist will be called to the scene. Whenever possible he/she should be assisted by an officer trained through the technical level in accident investigation. When it is necessary to call an off duty investigator to assist a Reconstructionist, preference may be given to calling another Reconstructionist if available. B. In instances where a motor vehicle crash results in an injury, the first responding officer should consider the severity and nature of the injury in determining whether to call an accident investigator to the scene. If an accident investigator is not immediately available the officer should contact a watch supervisor, who may authorize the call -in of an off duty accident investigator. 1. When a Technical Accident Investigator or an Accident Reconstructionist is called to the scene, they shall complete their investigation within 30 days. If the report is not completed within this period, the Watch Commander shall inform the Commanding Officer of Field Operations of the fact, along with the reasons why the report has not been completed and an anticipated date for completion of the report. C. In any instance that there is a likelihood of city liability, a person trained through the technical level of accident investigation should be called to the scene. This includes instances where a city vehicle is involved in an injury crash, regardless of "fault". In these instances, a copy of the state accident report and any technical investigative reports will be forwarded to the, Commander of Field Operations or his/her designee. He/she )vill forv�rd the reports to the City Attorney's Office and to other city departments as s requested. D. Hit and Run Crashes. Hit and run crashes will be investigatQJ' the ext4nr possible. Upon arrival at the scene the responding officer shQcQR-,bro�dca"j any suspect vehicle or driver information as soon as possible.,,- E. Crashes involving intoxicated, impaired, drugged or ". 02" drivers sh&ld be investigated according to applicable departmental procedures. The involvement of alcohol or drugs should be handled according to specific OPS-13.3 departmental policies/procedures pertaining to OWL In instances where the consumption of alcohol or drugs is suspected and serious injury or fatality results, the officer should notify a watch supervisor. The supervisor or officer may contact the on -call county attorney for advice on how to proceed. F. In incidents in which a commercial carrier carrying hazardous materials is involved in a motor vehicle crash, officers will comply with departmental guidelines relating to commercial carriers. If the crash results in a breach of a container or a discharge from a container, the officer shall immediately notify communications who should then notify a watch supervisor. If possible, the officer will evacuate the immediate area around the vehicle until the Iowa City Fire Department responds. The Iowa City Fire Department will be notified and will make the determination if the Johnson County HAZMAT team will be requested to respond to the scene. The Iowa City Fire Department or, if applicable, the Johnson County HAZMAT team, will have primary responsibility pertaining to any discharge of hazardous materials from a vehicle involved in a motor vehicle crash. The responding Fire or HAZMAT supervisor will determine the extent of any evacuation. Officers should attempt to ensure that the hazardous material reporting requirements in the Code of Iowa are complied with. An officer trained through the technical level of accident investigation should be called to the scene in which there is a discharge of hazardous materials from a commercial carrier. (In incidents involving hazardous materials, SAFETY is the paramount consideration.) G. In incidents where the persons involved in a motor vehicle crash become engaged in a dispute, officers should expedite their response to the scene. Upon arrival the officer(s) should take charge of the scene and separate the confronting parties. H. If a motor vehicle crash results in major congestion, the first responding officer should request additional units as available to assist in traffic control. In instances where there are no injuries and the resulting congestion poses a hazard to the motoring public, the officer may consider moving the involved vehicle(s). If this is not practical or possible the officer(s) may elect to establish a safe traffic pattern and wait for additional units prior to initiating any investigation or report related to the crash. I. In instances where damage to a vehicle is such that the vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to operate, the officer should ensure the vehicle is either in a position where it will not impede or obstruct the safe flow of traffic or see that the vehicle is removed from the scene. When an operator elects to Ope their vehicle towed, the officer should try to honor their choice -in tow�t� services provided the service can respond in a reasonable amo�mt ai`time. In instances where the operator is unable to remain at the scene t14e otificer mu contact the towing service requested by the operator, or if thus nifyno preference, contact the service which currently is under contracFwith the c Removal of a vehicle from an accident scene, in and of itself,; -does not i y� constitute an impound of the vehicle. J. In instances where the operator is unable to indicate a preference for -the disposition of their vehicle and property and there is no one present to act on behalf of the operator, the officer should ensure the property belonging to the crash victim is protected. If there are items of value in the vehicle, the officer may take control of the property for safekeeping. If an officer takes control of OPS-13.4 the property of an accident victim, it shall be documented on a property form and submitted to the departmental property custodian. If the vehicle is towed by officers an impound form shall still be completed. K. In instances where an accident investigator requests a vehicle be impounded, the department member handling the tow will follow departmental guidelines pertaining to impounds. There should be a hold placed on the vehicle under the investigating officer's name. No property should be released from the interior of the vehicle without the authorization of the investigating officer. In instances where a person requests personal belongings from the interior of a "held" vehicle, and the investigator is unable to be reached, a supervisor may elect to approve the release of certain personal property from the vehicle. In these instances, the supervisor approving the release or his / her designee will accompany the person to the impound facility and will deliver the requested item(s) to the person. At no time should the person be allowed to have physical contact with the vehicle. The authorizing supervisor will complete an impounded vehicle Property Release Form detailing the circumstances surrounding the release. L. Watch supervisors have the authority to suspend accident investigations involving only property damage during emergency situations. These may include, but are not limited to, snow or ice emergencies when the number of accidents is such that it is not possible to respond to each location, or an emergency operation in which the majority of the available officers are engaged in an emergency type situation. In these types of incidents, the caller should be advised that there are not currently personnel available to respond and be requested to contact the department in person or on the phone sometime after the start of the following watch. The caller should be advised that in the interim, if possible, names, addresses, phone numbers and vehicle information should be exchanged. The communications person receiving the call should obtain all available information for entry in the CAD system. M. The Iowa City Police Department will use the expertise of the City of Iowa City Traffic Engineering office to analyze data pertaining to motor vehicle crashes within the city. Using the analysis provided by Traffic Engineering the department will implement traffic enforcement strategies to minimize the number and severity of motor vehicle crashes. On an annual basis ■ a review assess[of current traffic enforcement activities m' will be completed. [f [la Mew is completedtoc other spcx;ifl' (e.g. GTSB grant, earcli', etc,), a separate, in, ndent review Fie not Deco[{. Officers assigned to a motor vehicle accident will respond promptly and -proceed to the scene as quickly as traffic conditions allow. Response will§OA—ed by-T1 departmental vehicle operations guidelines. h _ A. During the approach to the scene, officers should be alert foreorrrrditimis OF factors which may be related to the crash. {rn B. Upon arrival at the scene, the officer(s) should park in a manner o bi6t C protect the scene and minimize danger to the public.So- C. The first responding officer will then attempt to identify situations, which will require immediate attention or additional assistance such as injuries, OPS-13.5 HAZMAT situations, or fire, and should request additional police or rescue units as appropriate. D. If injuries are present the initial officer should render immediate care to the greatest extent possible. E. Once care of the injured is insured and the scene is protected to the extent possible the officer should determine if the assistance of an accident investigator is required or needed. If so, communications should be advised of the situation and notification made. F. In cases of injury or death the initial officer should attempt to locate and identify any potential witnesses. This includes the identification of injured parties and passengers as well as onlookers. G. Once the scene is secured and witnesses identified, the first responding officer should attempt to locate and, if possible, document any evidence. If assistance is needed for the documentation of evidence the officer may contact an accident investigator or Crime Scene Technician (CST) depending on the type of evidence to be documented. All evidence collected shall be handled according to departmental guidelines on evidence. If it is determined that the scene extends beyond the point initially protected by the officer, the expanded scene should be protected to the greatest extent possible prior to completion of documentation or evidence collection. The first responding officer is responsible for the completion of all required reports unless relieved of the responsibility by a supervisor. In instances where an accident investigator(s) responds to the scene, he/she will be responsible for the technical investigation of the crash and all technical reports relative to the investigation. In situations where more than one accident investigator is involved, the officer trained to the highest level will be designated the lead investigator. If two investigators of equal training are on scene, the person with greater experience in the field shall be the lead investigator.

Treloar read a letter the Board Mr. Sullivan's letter was submitted to the a letter fro m the Iowa City Police Department in response to ;. p t at them gting and indicated the letter from the Police the Johnson County Jail. m,dence, Treloar opened up the forum for public discussion. owa City addressed the forum. Mr. Sullivan began by thanking the Sullivan said that the Ad Hoc Diversity Committee had made a affic and pedestrian stops where no citations were issued but no data was collected on these"stops'. He was concerned that since people were complaining about the police having a disproportionate number of stops with minorities that this should include all police stops, whether a citation was issued or not. His point was that there was data collected on stops resulting in the issuance of citations but no data was kept on stops where citations were not issued. He wished to see data collected on stops where citations were not issued. Mr. Sullivan said that "it would make sense to work with Johnson County, Coralville, North Liberty, University Heights, etc., to make sure everybody was collecting the same data. " Mr. Sullivan spoke to how disproportionate minority contact was not just an Iowa City or Johnson County issue but there were statistics showing that this was a national problem. He said he would like to see a plan to use the collected data to address the problem and improve the statistics. The next person to address the Board was Fatimah Omar. Ms. Omar voiced a complaint about how her sister was treated by the Police when she was crossing the street and was struck by a vehicle. Ms. Omar said that her sister was a person of color and the driver of the car was white. Ms. Omar felt that the treatment her sister received was different from the treatment the drive of the car received. She felt this was due to the race of the people and the officers involved. Ms. Omar said that many African American parents feel that their children were being racially profiled by the police. Ms. Omar cited the curfew that was imposed on the East side of town, and in particular, the Broadway neighborhood area as an example of the double standard that existed in police practices in Iowa City. Ms. Omar said that African American and Latino youth were nine times more likely to be arrested than white youth. Ms. Omar cited other statistics indicating a racial disparity in arrest rates for African American and Latinos. Ms. Omar said African Americans and Latinos were less likely to get oral reprimands or interventions that did not include charges or legal consequences than their white counterparts. Ms. Omar suggested that we need to "step up our game", make our minority residents feel more welcome. She suggested we need to take action to stop illegal searches and Fourth Amendment Rights violations and have equal legal practices and procedures among the different races. Adam Sullivan was the next to address the Board. Mr. Sullivan said that military surplus equipment was coming back from the mid -east as US involvement in the conflicts there was winding down. Mr. Sullivan expressed concern that some police departments have received tank or armored personnel carrier type vehicles. Mr. Sullivan was concerned that we should have "really strong rules for when that equipment is going to be used" and when we were going to have a military type response. Mr. Sullivan said he appreciated the response from the Police Department but the instances where such equipment could be used seemed very broad to him. Reverend Doyle Landry was the next to address the Board. He expressed concerns that problems concerning race issues have been brought up for many years but nothing seems to be happening to address these problems. Mr. Terrell Fulwiley was the next person to address the Board. Mr. Fulwiley was concerned about synthetic drugs in Iowa City. He was also concerned about a Herky statue being placed within 15 feet of a known drug area in downtown Iowa City. Mr. Fulwiley said that this statue has been vandalized by having someone pour a can of soup on it. Mr. Fulwiley said parents will stop and take pictures of their children standing with this Herky statue. He felt that this was not safe as the children were in a drug use area and were subject to dangerous situations by being there. He would like the statue to be moved. At the conclusion of the comments from the public Treloar thanked the audience for their input and called for a motion to adjourn. The motion was seconded and the meeting was adjourned.
