Chief’s Message
It is my pleasure to present the Iowa City Police Department’s 2018 Annual Report to the
community. In it you will find that our entire department continues to be fully committed to
improving public service and reducing crime.
Two of our larger initiatives were securing grants to enhance our ability to better serve the
community. One is the International Association of Chiefs of Police grant “Integrity, Action,
and Justice: Strengthening Law Enforcement Response to Domestic and Sexual Violence
National Demonstration Initiative.” Funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, this two-year
project assists agencies in their efforts to reduce sexual and domestic violence in their com-
munities and strengthen agency response to victims. Iowa City was one of six demonstration
sites selected. The other grant is the Data Driven Justice Initiative, which seeks to use data
and new strategies to divert low-level offenders who come into frequent contact with the
emergency health and social service systems, out of the criminal justice system in order to
reduce jail populations, while also helping to stabilize individuals and families, better serve communities, and reduce costs.
We focused on strengthening our partnerships with University of Iowa, Iowa City schools, businesses and community or-
ganizations. In addition to the day shift downtown liaison officer, we added an evening shift officer. They are tasked with
improving communication, reducing crime, and providing education and crime prevention techniques for the downtown
area.
Our most important objective this year was to enhance the safety and well-being of our staff, the very ones who valiantly
serve the community every day. We welcomed two new pastors to the Police Chaplain Unit, bringing it to six members.
The chaplains serve the needs of the police employees in their personal and professional lives and serve the citizens of
Iowa City at large. We also began a Peer to Peer support group. Peer to Peer offers assistance and appropriate services to
employees when personal or professional problems negatively affect their work performance, family unit and/or self.
Thank you for your interest in our agency by reading this report. Know that we remain ready to serve and protect everyone
in our community, no matter who you are.
Sincerely,
Chief Jody Matherly

IACP Domestic and Sexual
Violence Grant
In January 2018, the Iowa City Police
Department (ICPD) was awarded one of
six nationwide grants by the Internation-
al Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP),
funded through the Department of
Justice Office for Victims of Crime,
entitled Integrity, Action, and Justice:
Strengthening Law Enforcement
Response to Domestic and Sexual Vio-
lence National Demonstration Initiative.
The purpose of the “demonstration
project” grant is to improve the police
department’s response to crimes of
domestic assault, sexual assault, strangulation, and stalking, while also increasing efforts to identify, address, and
prevent gender bias. Through the course of the project, ICPD officers and community partners will receive training on
the topics of vicarious trauma, response to crimes of strangulation, the trauma-informed victim response, strengthening
relationships with LGBTQ+ communities, victims’ rights, and strengthening the first-line officer response to violence
against women.
Through grant efforts, the ICPD has incorporated a new mission statement, updated or added policies on sexual
assault, domestic assault, and stalking, and engaged with victim advocacy groups in the community to improve relation-
ships and ensure sustainability of our existing programs.
At the conclusion of the project, in September 2019, a summary of the tools, promising practices, and lessons learned
throughout will serve as a model, or a “demonstration”, for police departments and criminal justice partners nationwide.
IOWA CITY POLICE 2018 ANNUAL REPORT 21
www.icgov.org/police
In 2014, the Iowa City Police
Department worked with numerous
other service providers to study the
need for a “Housing First” option in
Johnson County. The group was
able to complete an in-depth study
of four individuals who were chroni-
cally homeless. They learned these
individuals used, on average,
approximately $140,000 in services
per person per year. After more
than 4 years and $2.16 million in
services, all four individuals were
still without a home. This work led
to the construction of Cross Park
Place; the first Housing First project
in the State of Iowa. Cross Park Place now houses 24 individuals who have been living on the streets, in some cases for
more than 10 years, and provides them with on-site services.
As a result of this work, Iowa City was selected as one of three pilot sites to implement the Data-Driven Justice (DDJ)
initiative. The goal of DDJ is to improve the outcomes for individuals identified as “frequent users” of emergency
services. These are individuals who cycle repeatedly through jails, ERs, and shelters at a great expense to taxpayers —
and often without getting the mental health, substance abuse, or housing assistance they need to break the cycle.

CALEA
Training & Accreditation is responsible for maintaining the mandated level of train-
ing for members of the department as well as ensuring those personnel are trained
in areas that are necessary for the efficient functioning of the department. The Ser-
geant assigned to Training and Accreditation also monitors General Orders to en-
sure they comply with accreditation standards.
In 2018, officers attended approximately 90 different refresher or advanced train-
ing opportunities including attendance at schools and training sessions at Mobile Team Training Unit IV in
Moline, Illinois, the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy, the Midwest Counter Drug Training Center in Des
Moines, training conferences, and seminars. These trainings ranged from basic recruit training to crisis in-
tervention training.
All officers newly hired by the Iowa City Police Department, certified and noncertified alike, continued to be
required to complete an intensive Field Training program. Officers assigned to the Field Training program
work one-on-one with Field Training Officers (FTOs) on each watch for practical hands-on experience. Offic-
ers must successfully complete the Field Training program before they can work solo on patrol.
New to accreditation in 2017, a new four-year cycle was implemented.
CALEA Information Management and Reporting System (CIMRS) is a new
web-based reporting system where Compliance Service Members (CSMs)
and Site-Based Assessors will capture and report findings from an annual
Web-Based Review (year 1-4) and Site-Based Assessment (year 4 only).
This change requires the Sergeant of Training and Accreditation to move from a three-year assignment to a
four-year assignment. 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 cover-
ing a wide range of up-to-date public safety initiatives, establishing and administering an accreditation pro-
cess, and recognizing professional excellence.
In 2018 successfully completed a web-based review of approximately 25% of applicable CALEA Standards.
