Dear Mr. Sullivan:
Thank you for your correspondence of 12/17/97 regarding vehicle "safety checks"
conducted periodically by officers of the Iowa City Police Department. It has been
distributed to all of the Police Citizen Review Board for careful study.
Although recently established, the Board has received a number of presentations by
members of the police department relat'mg to policies, procedures, rules and regulations.
This process is continuing and further review of present policy is being scheduled for
future meetings.
The concern you expressed over the use of discretion by police officers was discussed at
length by board members and the Chief of Police at a November meeting. The practice of
police safety checks has not been reviewed at this time; however, I would be happy to
place it on the agenda at one of our January sessions.
If you would be interested in attending, please call the PCRB office (356-5413 or
356-5041) and we will see that you are contacted at the time this issue becomes an agenda
item.
Very truly yours,
Paul Hoffey, Chairman
Police Citizen Review Board
