Message From the Chief
To the Citizens of Iowa City,
This annual report highlights the activities and accomplishments of the Iowa City Police Department during
the 2016 calendar year. Strong in our partnerships with area law enforcement agencies, other City
departments and community organizations, we continue to strive together towards the reduction of crime
to make Iowa City a welcoming community where residents can raise their families in a safe environment.
This past year would be best described as one of transitions. In May, Chief of Police Sam Hargadine
announced his retirement. Chief Hargadine, who had led the Department for eleven years, was set to take
on the role of Executive Director with the Iowa Police Chiefs Association. As the City worked through the
process of selecting a new chief, both Captains Troy Kelsay and Bill Campbell each served ninety day
appointments as Interim Chief of Police.
Diversifying the workforce has been a longstanding goal of both the City and Police Department. With
Council approval, the Police Department temporarily over-hired three qualified minority applicants to take
advantage of an opportunity to increase diversity on the force. The addition of the three black officers
brought the Police Department more in line with the racial make-up of Iowa City.
As 2016 came to a close, the City announced that Altoona Chief of Police Jody Matherly would be hired as
our next Police Chief. Chief Matherly joined the Department in January of 2017, marking the beginning of a
new chapter in the Department’s history. With a strong focus on community outreach, Chief Matherly brings
new ideas and energy to the Department.
It has been a great honor for us to lead the Department through this unique and exciting time. The
Department is strong and stands ready to serve our great community.
Sincerely,
TAKelsay
Captain Troy Kelsay Captain Bill Campbell

2016 Retirements
Chief Sam Hargadine
Date of Hire: August 29, 2005
Retirement: June 30, 2016
11 Years of Service
Iowa City Police Chief Sam Hargadine announced his retirement
from the Iowa City Police Department, effective June 30th after
accepting a position as the Executive Director of the Iowa Police
Chief’s Association.
Chief Hargadine served the Iowa City community as Police Chief
since August 2005. During his tenure in Iowa City, Chief
Hargadine was instrumental in implementing a number of
important initiatives. Community outreach and interagency
collaboration made great strides under his direction. The Police
Chaplain program was implemented in 2013 and enlists
volunteer Chaplains to counsel crime victims, provide support
for officers and their families, and help the Iowa City Police
Department engage with community members. More recently,
Chief Hargadine advocated bringing the Crisis Intervention
Team (CIT) model to Iowa City. Led locally by Johnson County,
this model develops partnerships between law enforcement,
mental health providers, and healthcare professionals to more
effectively respond to mental health crises and substance abuse
issues. The CIT program also stresses using interagency
collaboration to help individuals in crisis enter into treatment
rather than utilize more costly and less effective emergency
room visits or serve jail time.
Chief Hargadine also took the lead on engaging in a fact-based
and public discussion on the issue of disproportionate minority
contact and strategies to reduce disproportionality. He worked
extensively with St. Ambrose University to collect and analyze
traffic stop data for disproportionality. The Iowa City Police
Department is one of two police departments in the state that
uses traffic stop data in this manner.
In 2007, Chief Hargadine brought the Crime stoppers program
to Iowa City. The program has helped solve a homicide, as well
as several armed robberies and multiple other crimes in the
community. He was also involved in the successful passage and
implementation of the under-21 bar ordinance in Iowa
City. This ordinance has been credited with creating a more
family-friendly downtown atmosphere.
Most recently, the Iowa Police Chief’s Association honored
Chief Hargadine with their prestigious Police Chief of the Year
award.

Alcohol Compliance Checks of License Holders
The ICPD conducts compliance checks (“stings”) relating to the
proper sale and delivery of age-restricted alcohol products by
retailers. Underage persons enter licensed alcohol
establishments and attempt to purchase alcohol under the
observation and control of officers. In 2016, due to staffing
issues zero alcohol compliance checks were conducted.
The ICPD continued tobacco checks of all
tobacco permit holders. Like the alcohol
compliance checks, the tobacco checks
relate to the proper sale and delivery of age-restricted tobacco products by retailers.
Underage persons enter establishments and
attempt to purchase tobacco products under
the observation and control of officers. In
2016, 63 tobacco checks were conducted resulting in 14 Sales of Tobacco to Minor
charges.

In 2016 the Iowa City Police Department responded to 548 calls for service
specifically classified as juvenile related complaints. This number does not encompass all juvenile related calls for service, as the original call for service may
not have been classified as involving juveniles, but was listed by the type of incident,
for example, shoplifting. In 2015 police responded to 548 complaints for service
which represented the calls for service remaining the exact same with no increase or
decrease compared to 2016.
In 2016 the Grant Wood and Wetherby neighborhoods had the highest numbers of
juvenile complaints with 79 calls for service. This represented a 5% increase in
juvenile related complaints for the Grant Wood neighborhood and a 25% increase
for the Wetherby neighborhood.

For the previous four years, the crime of theft in the 5th degree had the highest number
of juvenile court referrals. In 2016, there was significant drop in the amount of theft in
the 5th degree referrals with 81% decrease from 2015. This number can be directly
correlated to the implementation of the diversion program for 5th degree theft charges.
2016 did see an 11% rise in juvenile related referrals (charges) with 337 which is the
highest in three years, but still down from the average of 450 per year between the
years of 2011 to 2013.

conducted, Henry Harper was hired to fill the full time position of Community Outreach Officer.

Iowa City Police Awarded Accreditation for Sixth Time
In 2016, the Iowa City Police Department was awarded CALEA Advanced Law Enforcement Accreditation effective March
25, 2017 for the sixth time (Meritorious Status). The Department was recognized at the CALEA National Conference in
Mobile, Alabama.
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., (CALEA) was created in 1979 as a credentialing
authority through the joint efforts of law enforcement's major executive associations:
•International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP);
•National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (NOBLE);
•National Sheriffs' Association (NSA); and the
•Police Executive Research Forum (PERF).
The purpose of CALEA's Accreditation Programs is to improve the delivery of public safety services, primarily by:
maintaining a body of standards, developed by public safety practitioners, covering a wide range of up-to-date public safety
initiatives; establishing and administering an accreditation process; and recognizing professional excellence.
CALEA Accreditation serves as the International Gold Standard for Public Safety Agencies. This voluntary process of CALEA
Accreditation begins with a rigorous self- assessment, requiring a review of policies, practices and processes against
internationally accepted public safety standards. This is followed with an assessment by independent assessors with
significant public safety experience. Additionally, public feedback is received to promote community trust and engagement,
and structured interviews are conducted with select agency personnel and others with knowledge to assess the agency's
effectiveness and overall service delivery capacities. The decision to accredit is rendered by a governing body of twenty-one
Commissioners following a public hearing and review of all reporting documentation.
To earn the most recent CALEA reaccreditation, the ICPD collected and maintained proofs of compliance with 189
applicable standards for each of the preceding three years (March 2014 through March 2017). On December 3-6, 2016, a
team of CALEA Assessors arrived at the ICPD to conduct a thorough onsite assessment. On March 25, 2017, ICPD Captain
Troy Kelsay, Accreditation Manager Sergeant Doug Hart, and former Accreditation Manager Lieutenant David Droll sat
before a panel of CALEA Commissioners during the final phase of the reaccreditation process. As a result of the hearing, the
ICPD was again awarded CALEA Accreditation.
