Re: 2020 Fireworks Calls for Service
Police Department Calls for Service
During the consumer fireworks sales period of June 1 - July 8, 2020, there were no permits
issued for fireworks sales within the city limits. This year shows a significant increase in calls for
service and total hours spent managing fireworks related calls compared to 2019. During this
period was a pandemic that caused cancellation of professional fireworks displays to encourage
social distancing and alternatives to citations and arrests to lessen workload on the courts.
The Iowa City Police Department received 373 calls for service (CFS) related to fireworks
complaints, in which 309 officers were deployed. This is compared to 103 calls during the same
period of 2019. Police spent a total of 60 hours responding to fireworks calls. This is compared
to 20 hours spent responding in 2019.
In 2020, there were 0 fireworks citations and 66 verbal warnings. In most incidents, officers
were unable to locate the individuals using fireworks. Below are four-year historical summary
charts of fireworks calls, responses, and outcomes by the police, a location map of the calls for
service related to fireworks during the 2020 summer sales period, a table of the calls received
by neighborhood, and comparisons to 2019 of calls for service by date and by time of day.
