Electronic Meeting (Pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.8) An electronic meeting was held because meeting in person was impossible or mpractical due to concerns for the health and safety of board members, staff and the public presented by COVID-19. CALL TO ORDER: Board Member Melissa Jensen called the meeting to order at 6:08 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Ricky Downing, Melissa Jensen, Jerri MacConnel, Saul Mekies, Amanda Nichols (6:21 p.m.), Orville Townsend, Stuart Vander Vegte MEMBERS ABSENT: None STAFF PRESENT; Staff Kellie Fruehling and Tammy Neumann OTHERS PRESENT: Legal Counsel, Patrick Ford; Iowa City Police Chief Dustin Liston; City Council Member Laura Bergus, CPRB Liaison CALL TO ORDER & ROLL CALL Board Member Jensen called the meeting to order. WELCOME AND INTRODUCTION OF BOARD All members introduced themselves and shared a bit about themselves. Patrick Ford, CPRB Counsel, introduced himself as well, CONSIDER MOTION TO ACCEPT CORRESPONDENCE AND/OR DOCUMENTS As no correspondence was received, Jensen moved on to item #4 on the agenda. COMMUNICATING WITH THE CPRB — WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO Townsend pointed out that Iowa City is one of a few cities in the country that has a Community Police Review Board (CPRB). He explained that the board reviews complaints that have been filed by a citizen who feels that he or she has been treated unfairly or did not receive the level of respect they feel they were due by a member of the Iowa City Police Department. Once a complaint is filed, it is shared with the Board and the Police Chief. The Police Chief will review the complaint and complete an investigation. The Chief will then file a report based on his findings. He will determine if the police officer acted appropriately or inappropriately. Townsend noted that Iowa City Police Officers wear body cameras and the squad cars are equipped with dashboard cameras. The Board will have the opportunity to view those videos. After the board has reviewed the complaint and any available video, as well as the Chief's report, they will make a ruling determining if the complaint is sustained or not sustained. Townsend explained that as an advisory board, they can make recommendations to City Council. Jensen asked for a description of what it means for a complaint to be sustained or not sustained. Ford noted that the language of sustained or not sustained comes from the CPRB ordinance. He explained that sustained means that the board agrees with the complainant or citizen that wrongful conduct by an officer occurred. Not sustained is the opposite, meaning that the board has determined that they do not agree with the complainant. DRAFT Nichols shared some changes that have been made to the Board since 2021. She noted that the Board has expanded from five to seven members. Complainants are now given an opportunity to respond to the Chief's report prior to the Board completing their investigation. Citizens can file a complaint directly with the Board or with the Police Department and can have a support person with them through the entire process. Additionally, the statute of limitations to file a complaint has been lengthened from 90 to 180 days. Townsend explained that the Police Chief or a representative is present at the CPRB meetings. Nichols clarified that the Police Chief or representative are present for the public part of the meeting only and does not attend the executive session. It is during the executive session that the board discusses the complaint and determines the next necessary step in their investigation process. Nichols went on to explain the complaint filing process in more detail. She noted that complaint forms are available on the City website or in hardcopy form. As mentioned earlier, she noted that the complainant has 180 days from the date of the incident to file a complaint. Once a complaint is received, the Police Chief will complete his investigation and then file a report on his findings. This report is sent to the complainant and shared with the CPRB. The complainant has 21 days from the time of the Chief's report to file a response. If a response is filed, the Chief then has 10 days to respond. It is at this point that the Board determines which level of review to set the complaint at. If the board feels they have enough information they will discuss and make a decision as to whether a violation has occurred. If so, the board will move forward with further investigation. The board then has 90 days to write their report with a decision to either sustain or not sustain the complaint. Nichols pointed out that the complaints name and the name of the officers are not made public. PUBLIC DISCUSSION Members of the public present included Redmond Jones II, Martha Shaw, and Kathleen Thornton. The questions presented to the board were as follows: what the Boards place is in helping to build trust between the Police Department and the community outside of handling filed complaints, if the complaint forms that are filed with CPRB are the same as what is filed with the Police Department, and if there is data available that reflects the number of complaints that are sustained or not sustained. ADJOURNMENT Meeting adjourned at 6:48 p.m. CALL TO ORDER: MEMBERS PRESENT: MEMBERS ABSENT: STAFF PRESENT: OTHERS PRESENT: DRAFT COMMUNITY POLICE REVIEW BOARD MINUTES — APRIL 12, 2021 Vice Chair Orville Townsend called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. Ricky Downing, Melissa Jensen, Jerri MacConnell, Saul Mekies, Orville Townsend, Stuart Vander Vegte Amanda Nichols Staff Kellie Fruehling/Tammy Neumann Legal Counsel Patrick Ford; Iowa City Police Chief Dustin Liston; Councilor Laura Bergus, CPRB Liaison; Redmond Jones 11, Deputy City Manager INTRODUCTION OF NEW MEMBERS CPRB members welcomed three new members to the Board.

NEW BUSINESS No new business. OLD BUSINESS Community Forum: Fruehling reminded CPRB members of the Community Forum scheduled on Wednesday, April 20 at 6 p.m. via Zoom. Staff will work with the Chair regarding the opening presentation. Chief Liston shared that he will participate in the forum in whatever manner the board is comfortable with. Townsend asked if there were new officers hired since the previous forum: Chief Liston said that there have been 17 new officers hired and that he could arrange for some of them to be present during the forum. DRAFT PUBLIC DISCUSSION Redmond Jones II, Deputy City Manager, introduced himself to the CPRB board members. He noted that was attending various boards and commission meetings to learn more about them. He also shared that approximately 27 years ago he was the management analyst at the City of Fort Worth and while gathering information about other police review boards, contacted Iowa City for input on the CPRB. He said that he has been in his currently position for six months. BOARD INFORMATION Mekies asked if Chief Liston reviews the comments on the public report from the Board. Liston stated that he does read those comments. He further noted that when staff reviews any complaint, whether it be sustained or not sustained, they always find lessons to be learned. Whether they identified a policy violation or not, there has yet to be something that the Board has made comments on that he hasn't already addressed. He considered the Board's input to be important. He reminded board members that while he is unable to share personnel decisions with the Board, he does consider all comments when addressing the complaints. Townsend reminded board members that this is an advisory board and that hopefully any suggestions that are brought to table are in some way going to lead to improvements to the police force. He asked that board members keep this in mind. STAFF INFORMATION Fruehling noted that some of the boards and commissions have opted to sit at the dais during their meetings and she wanted to offer this to the Board. Board members agreed that the current layout is preferred. MEETING SCHEDULE and FUTURE AGENDAS • April 20, 2022, 6:00 P.M. Community Forum (Virtual) • May 10, 2022, 5:30 p.m., Emma J.

REDLINE VERSION Red highlights are deletions Green highlights ae additions SEARCH AND SEIZURE Original Date of Issue Janua 10, 2000 General Order Number 00-01 Effective Date of Reissue March 11, 2022 Section Code LEG -04 Reevaluation Date March 2023 Amends LEG -04 Previous Version (2010) C.A.L.E.A. 1.2.4 Reference (see "INDEX AS:") INDEX AS: Search Seizure Warrants I. PURPOSE Arrests Stop and Frisk The purpose of this order is to provide members of the Iowa City Police Department with guidelines and background pertaining to search and seizure. POLICY It is the policy of this department to conduct searches and seizures that are both legal and thorough. Such searches are to be conducted in strict observance of the Constitutional and statutory rights of persons being searched and with due regard for the safety of the officers involved. All seizures shall comply with all. relevant state and federal Constitutional provisions and statutes governing the - seizure of persons or property. II. DEFINITIONS A. Constitution of the United States of America: • h., _:2x LEG -04.1 LEG -04.2 Amendment 4 The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized. B. Constitution of the State of to Article I. Bill of Rights Section 8. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but on probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons and things to be seized. PROCEDURES Search and Seizure Without a Warrant The Iowa City Police Department recognizes that persons have the right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure as afforded by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Iowa. This Department will strive to ensure that all searches and seizures meet current legal requirements. In recognition of this, the following guidelines are to be considered when making a determination to search without a warrant. A. Consent to Search; 1. Persons or property may be searched upon the consent of the person, owner or person in control of the property or item to be searched. The person giving consent must do so voluntarily. The officer is obligated to abide by any constraints placed on the search by the person. Where there is a reasonable belief that the person only speaks a language other than English, an officer or other individual fluent in that language should be summoned to the scene if ': available and the exigency of the situation permits (see SOG 1808 that addresses communication with persons with limited English proficiency (LEP).:- B. Exigent Circumstances: 1. An officer may search without a warrant when obtaining consent or a warrantis: impractical. In addition to exigent circumstances, there must be probable cause. Two types of exigent circumstances are movable vehicles and hot pursuit. a. Hot Pursuit Exception A doctrine that allows police to enter a premise where they suspect a crime has been committed without a warrant when delay would endanger their lives or the lives of others and lead to the escape of the alleged perpetrator and where there is LEG -04.3 probable cause. Flight, in and of itself, in misdemeanor cases is not an exigent circumstance to enter a home without a warrant. Examples of exigent circumstances that would allow a warrantless entry into a residence include -imminent harm to others, threat to officer, and destruction of evidence. b. Automobile Exception A moveable vehicle may be searched if, at the time of the stop, there is probable cause that it may contain evidence of a crime, which may be destroyed or moved, and it is impractical to obtain a warrant. C. Community Caretaker Exception A warrantless search of a residence is permissible under the community caretaking function. . Probable cause is not required but the officer must be reasonably (both objectively and subjectively? justified in performing the search for reasons other than investigating a crime. D. Stop and Frisk: An individual may be frisked for weapons if an officer has an articulable concern for his/her safety. E. Inventory Searches of Impounded Vehicles: The Iowa Supreme Court in State v. Ingram, 914 N.W.2d 794 (Iowa 2018) set forth the following three tenants that must be followed for a vehicle to be impounded and searched consistent with the search and seizure provision of the Iowa Constitution: "the police should advise the owner or operator of the options to impoundment"; - "personal items may be retrieved from the vehicle"; and - "if the vehicle is impounded, containers found within the vehicle wilI not ,bt opened but stored for safekeeping as a unit unless the owner or operator, directs otherwise",• 0 .. Question 1. Is impoundment necessary? - Impoundment is necessary if there is no driver or owner present. Impoundment may be necessary after alternative arrangements that do-, not interfere with public safety short of impoundment are explored. The officer must explore alternative arrangements, which include: LEG -04.4 Can the vehicle be parked and locked on the street or nearby lot? Is there is a passenger that can take the vehicle, who is not impaired and has a valid license? Can the driver or owner arrange for the vehicle to be towed at the owner's or driver's expense within a reasonable period of time? Is a third party or friend of the driver able to come and take the vehicle within a reasonable period of time? Is there any other option under the circumstances that the driver suggests and that does not interfere with public safety? Is there any other option under the circumstances identified by the officer that does not interfere with public safety? What a reasonable period of time is will be based on the circumstances, such as weather and the location. If impoundment is not necessary, the driver or owner can agree to have the vehicle impounded. If the vehicle is impounded with driver or owner consent, an inventory search may be conducted consistent with the following section. Question 2. If impoundment of the vehicle is necessary, the officer may conduct an inventory search consistent with the following: The officer may request to search the vehicle. If specific consent is not knowingly and voluntarily given, the officer must inventory closed containers in plain view left behind in the vehicle as a unit. Bags and containers must not be opened. In order for the consent to be knowingly and voluntarily given, the officer must tell the driver that closed containers in plain view may be stored for safekeeping, and if they are stored, they will not be opened without a warrant. In order for the consent to be knowingly and voluntarily given, the officej must ask the driver whether there is any property in the vehicle the driver wishes to retain. If the answer is yes, the driver must be allowed to — retrieve it. The officer should take necessary steps to assure personal . safety. tp With respect to property left behind, the officer must ask the driver 7-7, whether there is anything of value requiring safekeeping and make a record of the response in order to protect the ICPD from a later claim of theft of valuables. F. Search Incident to Arrest: LEG -04.5 When an arrest is made, the officer will conduct a search of the arrested person and the area in the immediate control of the arrested person for the purpose of ensuring the officers' safety, preventing the person from escaping, discovering the fruits of the crime, or discovering instruments or articles which may have been used in the commission of a crime or constitute evidence of an offense. This search must be contemporaneous in place and time. G. Plain View: Officers may visually search items or property that is in plain view, provided that the officer has the right to be in the position from which the view was made. H. Crime Scene Search: Depending on the location of a crime scene, consent or a warrant may be required prior to a search. (i.e. public v. private property) Officers may search persons on premises during the execution of a search warrant in order to protect their safety, prevent disposal or concealment of property subject to the warrant or to remove any items that could be used to effect an escape or resist arrest. . Library and Aggravated Theft: Persons concealing property as set forth in section 711.3B (aggravated theft) and 714.5 (theft of library materials or equipment) may be detained and searched by an officer provided the detention is for a reasonable length of time and is conducted in a reasonable manner by a person of the same sex. Search and Seizure Pursuant to Warrant A. What Property May Be Searched A search warrant may be issued: _ ) 1. For property which has been obtained in violation of law. - 2. For property, the possession of which is unlawful. 3. For property used or possessed with the intent to be used as the means of committing a public offense or concealed to prevent an offense from being discovered. 4. For any other property relevant and material as evidence in a criminal prosecution. B. Legal Basis for Obtaining a Search Warrant C.N LEG -04.6 1. In order to obtain a search warrant, an officer must be able to show probable cause to believe that specific evidence, contraband, or instrumentalities/fruits of a crime may be found at a particular location. 2. Specific facts establishing probable cause must be set forth with clarity and sufficient specificity to enable an independent reasonable person with reasonable effort to ascertain and identify the person, place or thing. Officers shall not rely solely upon personal opinion or unauthenticated third party information or hearsay. Such facts may be based on the personal observation or knowledge of the officer, or information from a reliable source. 3. When informants are used, particularly confidential informants, the reliability of the informant and the information provided should be specified. Whenever possible, officers should corroborate informant information. C. Affidavit Preparation 1. An affidavit supporting the application for a search warrant shall be prepared on the appropriate form in accordance with department policy. Because the accuracy of the affidavit is vital to the validity of the search warrant, officers shall ensure that the following information is clearly and completely specified: (a) Offense: The offense shall be described with reference to the criminal statute number where possible. (b) Person, Place or Thing to Be Searched: The person, place or thing to be searched shall be clearly and specifically described. Where private premises are to be searched, references should include: (1) Street number and apartment number if appropriate; (2) Physical description of the premises; (3) Legal description of the premises; EE (4) Name of owner or occupant; (5) Geographical location of the property; (6) Map coordinates or distances from given reference points; (7) Photographs, satellite photographs, maps, or diagrams that aid'in specifically identifying the location to be searched; , (8) Photographs, physical description including gender, height, w"4ight, eye color, hair color, and name of the person to be searched. (c) Scope of the Search: Only those things described in the search warrant can be seized. Therefore, the affidavit should specify, and the officer should ensure that the warrant includes the following: (1) All areas that the officers desire to search shall be designated. In instances where officers wish to conduct a complete search of a home and its surroundings, the affidavit should specify a search of the premise and its "curtilage," and should identify any outbuildings such as garages, tool sheds or other detached buildings, where appropriate. LEG -04.7 (2) Motor vehicles known to be on the premises that may be searched should be specified. (3) Searches (other than frisks for weapons) of specific persons on the premises shall be referenced in the affidavit by name if possible. (4) The specific items to be seized shall be detailed. Where the item may be dismantled (e.g., firearms) the warrant should authorize the search and seizure of parts or components of that item. (5) Officers anticipating search of computers and related high-technology equipment should consult a forensic examiner or other qualified source for appropriate language to use in the affidavit and procedures for seizure of hardware, software, and electronic media. (d) Time and Method of Search: A valid search warrant may be served at any time of the day or night, as operationally required, within 10 days from the time of issuance. (1) Officers may request a ""no knock" provision in the warrant when they have reason to believe that adherence to the knock and announce rule would endanger their safety or the safety of others, would enable a wanted person to escape, or would likely result in the destruction of evidence before entry can be made. 2. All affidavits must be reviewed and approved by a supervisor PRIOR to presentation to a magistrate or other judicial official authorized to issue search warrants. 3. PRIOR to obtaining a signed search warrant, a Search Warrant Control Review Form shall be completed with the required signatures obtained (the second signature must be from a lieutenant or higher. This would include a sergeant appointed as an Acting Watch Commander) (see Appendix 1). The accompanying Search Warrant Checklist should be followed throughout the warrant process. _- Other than for the physical search of a structure, a supervisor may waive'the requirements of the Search Warrant Checklist (e.g. obtaining blood for an OWi investigation, obtaining shoes from a prisoner at the jail, etc.) Justification for the supervisor's waiver must be documented in writing prior to the service of the warrant on Appendix I. 4. As all search warrants have potential for violence, the officer making applicat�p will, at a minimum and prior to the execution of the warrant: (a) Check the criminal history of any person known to reside or frequent the location i.e. associates. (b) Check the address for any history of violence. (c) Prior to serving the warrant, the officer making application will call the current agency responsible for providing deconfliction services. LEG -04.8 If, after completing this assessment, the officer making application discovers information that may make this a high risk warrant service, the officer will make the approving supervisor aware of the information at which point they will follow Search and Seizure Pursuant to Warrant -section G (pg. 9) to make a final determination on whether or not it meets the high risk criteria. D. Supervisory Review of Issued Search Warrant Prior To Execution 1. Prior to any attempt at service, a supervisor should review issued search warrants to ensure that they include all pertinent information set forth in the affidavit completely and accurately, and that the warrant has been properly signed by a magistrate or other authorized judicial official. Officers shall not attempt to serve any search warrant that is known to contain substantive or administrative errors. 2. When an outside agency requests Iowa City Police assistance with the execution of a search warrant in Iowa City, a supervisor will at a minimum familiarize themselves with the address being searched and confirm the accuracy of the location. E. Execution of the Search Warrant 1. 10 -Day Time Limit: Search warrants must be executed within 10 days from the time of issuance. Any warrant not executed within this time limit is void and must be returned unserved to the magistrate or clerk of court. In the event that the return of an unserved warrant will compromise an active investigation, the County Attorney should be consulted regarding the time and manner of the return. 2. Pre -Surveillance: For narcotics / drug or weapon related search warrants, it is recommended that surveillance be maintained on the target location for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the execution of the search warrant. 3. Pre -Search Briefing: Prior to the execution of a search warrant, the supeNsor in charge of the search should ensure that a pre -search briefing is conducted to inform assisting officers of the following: (a) The supervisor in charge of the search; (b) Verification of the specific location to be searched; (c) The layout of the premises and any known or anticipated hazards that may exist; (d) The manner of approach and entry into the premises; (e) The assignment of assisting officers as necessary to: LEG -04.9 (1) Ensure exterior containment of the premises; (2) Guard and/or transport any persons arrested; (3) Search designated areas; (4) Restrict access at entrances; (5) Collect and handle evidence; and (6) Interviews of any persons present; (f) The communications procedures to be used; (g) Historical data of suspects; (h) Update from surveillance Officer on scene; (1) Written Safety Plan — copies to all officers participating; (see Appendix 11) (k) Staging area discussion. 4 Supervisor Presence Required: The supervisor in charge must be physically present on all search warrant executions. Once it has been determined that the scene is secure, the supervisor may designate an officer to complete the search warrant process. Upon conclusion of the search, the supervisor in charge or designee is responsible for ensuring that all evidence is properly documented and secured, that the premises is left in a secure manner, and that all paperwork and reports are submitted as required. 5 Media or Other Third Party Participation: Police officers shall not take members of the news media or other third parties into private premises during the execution of a search warrant, unless the presence of the third party is necessary in aid of the warrant's execution. Police authority to enter private premises pursuant to a search warrant does not automatically extend to third parties. Participation by a third party must be directly related to the authorized objective and scope of the search warrant. This restriction shall not be construed to prevent the entry of third parties into private premises pursuant to voluntary consent or other legal authority. 6 Photographing Premises: Photographs should be taken of the premises: both __ before and after the search is conducted for the purpose of documenting the property in its original condition and the condition in which it was left by office* after the search. All photographs and videos taken at a search warrant are evidence and will be placed in evidence or on the video storage system at the conclusion of the search warrant. 7 Officers involved in the service of a search warrant shall comply with GO 99-08 Body Worn Cameras and In -Car Recorders. 8 Officers may break into any structure or vehicle where reasonably necessary to execute the warrant if, after notice of this authority and purpose the officer's admittance has not been immediately authorized. The officer may use reasonable force to enter a structure or vehicle to execute a search warrant LEG -04.10 without notice of the officer's authority and purpose in the case of vacated or abandoned structures or vehicles. Officer executing a search warrant may break restraints when necessary for the officer's own liberation or to effect the release of a person who has entered a place to aid the officer. 9 Giving of Notice: The officer executing a search warrant must, before entering the premises, give appropriate notice of his/her identity and purpose to the person to be searched or the person in apparent control of the premises to be searched. If it is unclear whether anyone is present at the location to be searched, the officer must give notice in a manner likely to be heard by anyone present. The giving of notice may be waived ONLY if specifically authorized in the warrant. 10 Serving the Warrant: Before undertaking any search, the officer must leave a copy of the warrant with the person to be searched or the person in apparent control of the premises or vehicle to be searched. Where there is a reasonable belief that the person only speaks a language other than English, an officer or other individual fluent in that language should be summoned to the scene if available and the exigency of the situation permits (see SOG 18-08 that addresses communication with persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). If no one in apparent and responsible control is occupying the premises or vehicle, the officer must leave a copy of the warrant affixed to the premises or vehicle. 11 Detention of Persons Present: A warrant to search a premises does not authorize an officer to search any person present if an item is not found in the premises. In the execution of a search warrant the person executing the same may reasonably detain and search any person or thing in the place at the time for any of the following reasons: 1. To protect the searcher from attack. -a 2. To prevent the disposal or concealment of any property subject t ?seizure described in the warrant. 3. To remove any item which is capable of causing bodily harm that..ii person may use to resist arrest or effect an escape. 13 Scope of the Search: The scope of the search may be only such as is authorized by the warrant and is reasonably necessary to discover the items specified therein. Upon discovery of the items specified, the officer must take possession or custody of them. If in the course of the search the officer inadvertently discovers items not specified in the warrant which are subject to seizure under State or City Code, he/she may also take possession of the items so discovered. 14 Inventory of Items Seized: The officer executing the search warrant must prepare and sign an inventory of all items seized. If the items are seized from a person, then a copy must be given to that person. If the items are seized from a place or vehicle, a copy must be given to the owner or person in control of the LEG -04.11 premises or vehicle. If no person is present, the copy will be left in the premises or vehicle from which the items were seized. 15 Concluding the Search: Officers will conduct the search in a manner so as to leave the premises or vehicle in the same general condition as originally found.

H. High -Risk Warrant Service Operations Prior to the execution of a search warrant, the need for tactical support will be determined. In determining whether or not service of the warrant constitutes a high-risk operation under the provisions of this policy, the supervisor in charge must consider several factors: (a) The characteristics and location of the target premises and the nudiber of . persons likely to be present.

PURPOSE Arrests Stop and Frisk The purpose of this order is to provide members of the Iowa City Police Department with guidelines and background pertaining to search and seizure. POLICY It is the policy of this department to conduct searches and seizures that are both legal and thorough. Such searches are to be conducted in strict observance of the Constitutional and statutory rights of persons being searched and with due regard for the safety of the officers involved. All seizures shall comply with aif relevant state and federal Constitutional provisions and statutes governing the! seizure of persons or property. : - II. DEFINITIONS A. Constitution of the United States of America: LEG -04.1 LEG -04.2 Amendment 4 The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person or things to be seized. B. Constitution of the State of Iowa: Article I. Bill of Rights Section 8. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but on probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons and things to be seized. 111 PROCEDURES Search and Seizure Without a Warrant The Iowa City Police Department recognizes that persons have the right to be free of unreasonable search and seizure as afforded by the Constitutions of the United States and the State of Iowa. This Department will strive to ensure that all searches and seizures meet current legal requirements. In recognition of this, the following guidelines are to be considered when making a determination to search without a warrant. A. Consent to Search: 1. Persons or property may be searched upon the consent of the person, owner or person in control of the property or item to be searched. The person giving consent must do so voluntarily. The officer is obligated to abide by any constraints placed on the search by the person. Where there is a reasonable belief that the person only speaks a language other than English, an officer or other individual fluent in that language should be summoned to the scene if available and the exigency of the situation permits (see SOG 18-08 that addresses communication with persons with limited English proficiency (LEP).:-:, B. Exigent Circumstances: 1. An officer may search without a warrant when obtaining consent or a Warrantis impractical. In addition to exigent circumstances, there must be probab10.0us. Two types of exigent circumstances are movable vehicles and hot purSUlt - a. Hot Pursuit Exception A doctrine that allows police to enter a premise where they suspect a crime has been committed without a warrant when delay would endanger their lives or the lives of others and lead to the escape of the alleged perpetrator and where there is LEG -04.3 probable cause. Flight, in and of itself, in misdemeanor cases is not an exigent circumstance to enter a home without a warrant. Examples of exigent circumstances that would allow a warrantless entry into a residence include imminent harm to others, threat to officer, and destruction of evidence. b. Automobile Exception A moveable vehicle may be searched if, at the time of the stop, there is probable cause that it may contain evidence of a crime, which may be destroyed or moved, and it is impractical to obtain a warrant. C. Community Caretaker Exception A warrantless search of a residence is permissible under the community caretaking function.. Probable cause is not required but the officer must be reasonably (both objectively and subjectively) justified in performing the search for reasons other than investigating a crime. (Note: Exigent circumstances other than the community caretaking exception exist for a warrantless search when conducted to preserve life.) D. Stop and Frisk: An individual may be frisked for weapons if an officer has an articulable concern for his/her safety. E. Inventory Searches of Impounded Vehicles: The Iowa Supreme Court in State v. Ingram, 914 N.W.2d 794 (Iowa 2018) set forth the following three tenants that must be followed for a vehicle to be impounded and searched consistent with the search and seizure provision of the Iowa Constitution: "the police should advise the owner or operator of the options to impoundment"; "personal items may be retrieved from the vehicle"; and "if the vehicle is impounded, containers found within the vehicle Will noVbe opened but stored for safekeeping as a unit unless the owner or-dperata directs otherwise". Question 1. Is impoundment necessary? Impoundment is necessary if there is no driver or owner present. Impoundment may be necessary after alternative arrangements that do not interfere with public safety short of impoundment are explored. The officer must explore alternative arrangements, which include: Can the vehicle be parked and locked on the street or nearby lot? LEG -04.4 Is there is a passenger that can take the vehicle, who is not impaired and has a valid license? Can the driver or owner arrange for the vehicle to be towed at the owner's or driver's expense within a reasonable period of time? Is a third party or friend of the driver able to come and take the vehicle within a reasonable period of time? Is there any other option under the circumstances that the driver suggests and that does not interfere with public safety? Is there any other option under the circumstances identified by the officer that does not interfere with public safety? What a reasonable period of time is will be based on the circumstances, such as weather and the location. If impoundment is not necessary, the driver or owner can agree to have the vehicle impounded. If the vehicle is impounded with driver or owner consent, an inventory search may be conducted consistent with the fallowing section. Question 2. If impoundment of the vehicle is necessary, the officer may conduct an inventory search consistent with the following: The officer may request to search the vehicle. If specific consent is not knowingly and voluntarily given, the officer must inventory closed containers in plain view left behind in the vehicle as a unit. Bags and containers must not be opened. In order for the consent to be knowingly and voluntarily given, the officer must tell the driver that closed containers in plain view may be stored for safekeeping, and if they are stored, they will not be opened without a warrant. In order for the consent to be knowingly and voluntarily given, the officer must ask the driver whether there is any property in the vehicle the driver wishes to retain. If the answer is yes, the driver must be allowed to retrieve it. The officer should take necessary steps to assure:perso safety. With respect to property left behind, the officer must ask the dri-ver whether there is anything of value requiring safekeeping and make record of the response in order to protect the ICPD from a later Claitiiik)f theft of valuables. F. Search Incident to Arrest: LEG -04.5 When an arrest is made, the officer will conduct a search of the arrested person and the area in the immediate control of the arrested person for the purpose of ensuring the officers' safety, preventing the person from escaping, discovering the fruits of the crime, or discovering instruments or articles which may have been used in the commission of a crime or constitute evidence of an offense. This search must be contemporaneous in place and time. G. Plain View: Officers may visually search items or property that is in plain view, provided that the officer has the right to be in the position from which the view was made. H. Crime Scene Search: Depending on the location of a crime scene, consent or a warrant may be required prior to a search. (Le. public v. private property) Officers may search persons on premises during the execution of a search warrant in order to protect their safety, prevent disposal or concealment of property subject to the warrant or to remove any items that could be used to effect an escape or resist arrest. 1. Library and Aggravated Theft Persons concealing property as set forth in section 711.3B (aggravated theft) and 714.5 (theft of library materials or equipment) may be detained and searched by an officer provided the detention is for a reasonable length of time and is conducted in a reasonable manner by a person of the same sex. Search and Seizure Pursuant to Warrant A. What Property May Be Searched A search warrant may be issued: -- 1. For property which has been obtained in violation of law. 2. For property, the possession of which is unlawful. 3. For property used or possessed with the intent to be used as the means of committing a public offense or concealed to prevent an offense from being discovered. 4. For any other property relevant and material as evidence in a criminal prosecution. B. Legal Basis for Obtaining a Search Warrant LEG -04.6 In order to obtain a search warrant, an officer must be able to show probable cause to believe that specific evidence, contraband, or instrumentalities/fruits of a crime may be found at a particular location. 2. Specific facts establishing probable cause must be set forth with clarity and sufficient specificity to enable an independent reasonable person with reasonable effort to ascertain and identify the person, place or thing. Officers shall not rely solely upon personal opinion or unauthenticated third party information or hearsay. Such facts may be based on the personal observation or knowledge of the officer, or information from a reliable source. 3. When informants are used, particularly confidential informants, the reliability of the informant and the information provided should be specified. Whenever possible, officers should corroborate informant information. C. Affidavit Preparation 1. An affidavit supporting the application for a search warrant shall be prepared on the appropriate form in accordance with department policy. Because the accuracy of the affidavit is vital to the validity of the search warrant, officers shall ensure that the following information is clearly and completely specified: (a) Offense: The offense shall be described with reference to the criminal statute number where possible. (b) Person, Place or Thing to Be Searched: The person, place or thing to be searched shall be clearly and specifically described. Where private premises are to be searched, references should include: (1) Street number and apartment number if appropriate; (2) Physical description of the premises; (3) Legal description of the premises; (4) Name of owner or occupant; (5) Geographical location of the property; (6) Map coordinates or distances from given reference points; (7) Photographs, satellite photographs, maps, or diagrams that aid in specifically identifying the location to be searched; (8) Photographs, physical description including gender, height, weight, eye color, hair color, and name of the person to be searched. (c) Scope of the Search: Only those things described in the search warrant can be seized. Therefore, the affidavit should specify, and the officer should ensure that the warrant includes the following: (1) All areas that the officers desire to search shall be designated. In instances where officers wish to conduct a complete search of a home and its surroundings, the affidavit should specify a search of the premise and its "curtilage," and should identify any outbuildings such as garages, tool sheds or other detached buildings, where appropriate. (2) Motor vehicles known to be on the premises that may be searched should be specified. (3) Searches (other than frisks for weapons) of specific persons on the premises shall be referenced in the affidavit by name if possible. (4) The specific items to be seized shall be detailed. Where the item may be dismantled (e.g., firearms) the warrant should authorize the search and seizure of parts or components of that item. (5) Officers anticipating search of computers and related high-technology equipment should consult a forensic examiner or other qualified source for appropriate language to use in the affidavit and procedures for seizure of hardware, software, and electronic media. (d) Time and Method of Search: A valid search warrant may be served at any time of the day or night, as operationally required, within 10 days from the time of issuance. (1) Officers may request a "no knock" provision in the warrant when they have reason to believe that adherence to the knock and announce rule would endanger their safety or the safety of others, would enable a wanted person to escape, or would likely result in the destruction of evidence before entry can be made. 2. All affidavits must be reviewed and approved by a supervisor PRIOR to presentation to a magistrate or other judicial official authorized to issue search warrants. 3. PRIOR to obtaining a signed search warrant, a Search Warrant Control Review Form shall be completed with the required signatures obtained (the second signature must be from a lieutenant or higher. This would include a sergeant appointed as an Acting Watch Commander) (see Appendix 1). The accornpanying Search Warrant Checklist should be followed throughout the warrant process:_ Other than for the physical search of a structure, a supervisor may waive the requirements of the Search Warrant Checklist (e.g. obtaining blood for—an OWI investigation, obtaining shoes from a prisoner at the jail, etc.) Justification for.the supervisor's waiver must be documented in writing prior to the service of the _ = warrant on Appendix I. 4. As all search warrants have potential for violence, the officer making application will, at a minimum and prior to the execution of the warrant: (a) Check the criminal history of any person known to reside or frequent the location i.e. associates. (b) Check the address for any history of violence. (c) Prior to serving the warrant, the officer making application will call the current agency responsible for providing deconfliction services. LEG -04.7 LEG -034.8 If, after completing this assessment, the officer making application discovers information that may make this a high risk warrant service, the officer will make the approving supervisor aware of the information at which point they will follow Search and Seizure Pursuant to Warrant -section G (pg. 9) to make a final determination on whether or not it meets the high risk criteria. D. Supervisory Review of Issued Search Warrant Prior To Execution 1. Prior to any attempt at service, a supervisor should review issued search warrants to ensure that they include all pertinent information set forth in the affidavit completely and accurately, and that the warrant has been properly signed by a magistrate or other authorized judicial official. Officers shall not attempt to serve any search warrant that is known to contain substantive or administrative errors. 2. When an outside agency requests Iowa City Police assistance with the execution of a search warrant in Iowa City, a supervisor will at a minimum familiarize themselves with the address being searched and confirm the accuracy of the location. E. Execution of the Search Warrant 1. 10 -Day Time Limit: Search warrants must be executed within 10 days from the time of issuance. Any warrant not executed within this time limit is void and must be returned unserved to the magistrate or clerk of court. In the event that the return of an unserved warrant will compromise an active investigation, the County Attorney should be consulted regarding the time and manner of the return. 2. Pre -Surveillance: For narcotics / drug or weapon related search warrants, it is recommended that surveillance be maintained on the target location for a minimum of 30 minutes prior to the execution of the search warrant. 3. Pre -Search Briefing: Prior to the execution of a search warrant, the supervisor in charge of the search should ensure that a pre -search briefing is conducted to inform assisting officers of the following: (a) The supervisor in charge of the search; (b) Verification of the specific location to be searched; (c) The layout of the premises and any known or anticipated hazards this exist; (d) The manner of approach and entry into the premises; (e) The assignment of assisting officers as necessary to: LEG -04.9 (1) Ensure exterior containment of the premises; (2) Guard and/or transport any persons arrested; (3) Search designated areas; (4) Restrict access at entrances; (5) Collect and handle evidence; and (6) Interviews of any persons present; (f) The communications procedures to be used; (g) Historical data of suspects; (h) Update from surveillance Officer on scene; (i) Written Safety Plan — copies to all officers participating; (see Appendix 11) (k) Staging area discussion. 4 Supervisor Presence Required: The supervisor in charge must be physically present on all search warrant executions. Once it has been determined that the scene is secure, the supervisor may designate an officer to complete the search warrant process. Upon conclusion of the search, the supervisor in charge or designee is responsible for ensuring that all evidence is properly documented and secured, that the premises is left in a secure manner, and that all paperwork and reports are submitted as required. 5 Media or Other Third Party Participation: Police officers shall not take members of the news media or other third parties into private premises during the execution of a search warrant, unless the presence of the third party is necessary in aid of the warrant's execution. Police authority to enter private premises pursuant to a search warrant does not automatically extend to third parties. Participation by a third party must be directly related to the authorized objective and scope of the search warrant. This restriction shall not be construed to prevent the entry of third parties into private premises pursuant to voluntary, consent or other legal authority. 6 Photographing Premises: Photographs should be taken of the premises bath before and after the search is conducted for the purpose of documenting the property in its original condition and the condition in which it was Ieft:by officers after the search. All photographs and videos taken at a search warrant.:ar evidence and will be placed in evidence or on the video storage system athe conclusion of the search warrant. 7 Officers involved in the service of a search warrant shall comply with GO 99-08 Body Worn Cameras and In -Car Recorders. 8 Officers may break into any structure or vehicle where reasonably necessary to execute the warrant if, after notice of this authority and purpose the officer's admittance has not been immediately authorized. The officer may use reasonable force to enter a structure or vehicle to execute a search warrant LEG -04.10 without notice of the officer's authority and purpose in the case of vacated or abandoned structures or vehicles. Officer executing a search warrant may break restraints when necessary for the officer's own liberation or to effect the release of a person who has entered a place to aid the officer. 9 Giving of Notice: The officer executing a search warrant must, before entering the premises, give appropriate notice of his/her identity and purpose to the person to be searched or the person in apparent control of the premises to be searched. If it is unclear whether anyone is present at the location to be searched, the officer must give notice in a manner likely to be heard by anyone present. The giving of notice may be waived ONLY if specifically authorized in the warrant. 10 Serving the Warrant: Before undertaking any search, the officer must leave a copy of the warrant with the person to be searched or the person in apparent control of the premises or vehicle to be searched. Where there is a reasonable belief that the person only speaks a language other than English, an officer or other individual fluent in that language should be summoned to the scene if available and the exigency of the situation permits (see SOG 18-08 that addresses communication with persons with limited English proficiency (LEP). If no one in apparent and responsible control is occupying the premises or vehicle, the officer must leave a copy of the warrant affixed to the premises or vehicle. 11 Detention of Persons Present: A warrant to search a premises does not authorize an officer to search any person present if an item is not found in the premises. In the execution of a search warrant the person executing the same may reasonably detain and search any person or thing in the place at the time for any of the following reasons: 1. To protect the searcher from attack. 2. To prevent the disposal or concealment of any property subject toseizure described in the warrant. 3. To remove any item which is capable of causing bodily harm that •the person may use to resist arrest or effect an escape. 13 Scope of the Search: The scope of the search may be only such as is authorized by the warrant and is reasonably necessary to discover the items specified therein. Upon discovery of the items specified, the officer must take possession or custody of them. If in the course of the search the officer inadvertently discovers items not specified in the warrant which are subject to seizure under State or City Code, he/she may also take possession of the items so discovered. 14 Inventory of Items Seized: The officer executing the search warrant must prepare and sign an inventory of all items seized. If the items are seized from a person, then a copy must be given to that person. If the items are seized from a place or vehicle, a copy must be given to the owner or person in control of the LEG -04.11 premises or vehicle. If no person is present, the copy will be left in the premises or vehicle from which the items were seized. 15 Concluding the Search: Officers will conduct the search in a manner so as to leave the premises or vehicle in the same general condition as originally found. All evidence will be handled in accordance with General Order 00-10. The officer in charge of collecting evidence will complete all reports and property control forms, and will place the evidence in secure storage prior to ending his/her tour of duty. 16 Supervisor Responsibility: Upon conclusion of the operation, the approving supervisor shall forward the original Written Safety Plan, Threat Assessment and Search Warrant Control Review form to the Records Section.

G. Liaison with the County Attorney Officers seeking search warrants in unusual situations or where the seriousness, nature or legal complexity of the case so dictates, should review the case with the County Attorney's Office prior to seeking a search warrant. H. High -Risk Warrant Service Operations 1. Prior to the execution of a search warrant, the need for tactical support will be determined. In determining whether or not service of the warrant constitutes a,, high-risk operation under the provisions of this policy, the supervisor in charge must consider several factors: (a) The characteristics and location of the target premises and the number otT persons likely to be present. (b) The anticipated need for pre -planned forcible or dynamic tactical en t ry inti: the premises.

LEG -04.12 (d) The number of personnel and resources required to safely and adequately conduct the operation and accomplish the intended objective. 2. Supervisors should make a threat -assessment to determine whether the intended warrant service activity requires tactical support. If the assessment indicates a need for tactical support, the supervisor shall consult with the SRT Commander and the Commander of Field Operations, who will make the final determination. 3. Authorization for high-risk warrant service operations must be given by the Commander of Field Operations or designee. 4. High-risk warrant service operations must be preceded with a written plan to include, at a minimum, the following: (a) The procurement of any special equipment or resources needed; (b) The designation of a radio talk group to be used and any special communications procedures to be followed; (c) The specific strategy for approaching, entering, securing and leaving the target premises. This strategy should include the layout of the premises (if known), and the identification of any known or anticipated hazards that may exist; (d) The specific responsibilities of each officer present during the operation, including provisions for the handling and transport of persons arrested; (e) The coordination of any special support needed from outside agencies regarding the foreseen or anticipated need for resources such as medical or firefighting personnel, animal control units, etc.; (f) All requirements regarding deconfliction are met per SOG 14-02. 5.

(Suggested additions are shown with underlined text, and suggested deletions are shown with strikcthrough text.) Subsection 8-8-5(B)(6) shall be amended to read as follows: In the event the board's decision differs from that of the Police Chief, the Chief shall meet with the board in closed session to discuss the discrepancy of opinion. If the board requests the City Manager's presence at said meeting the City Manager will also attend. Such meeting shall take place prior to the issuance of the board's public report to the City Council. Within seven days after such meeting, the Police Chief and/or City Manager may, in the Police Chief's or City Manager's discretion, issue an amended investigative report for the board's consideration. 2. Subsection 8-8-7(B)(1) shall be amended to read as follows: The board shall review all Police Chiefs reports and City Manager's reports concerning complaints. The board shall decide, on a simple majority vote, the level of review to give each Police Chiefs or City Manager's report, and the board may select any or all of the following levels of review: 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 City Manager, 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. Any time after the board selects a level of review, the board may, on a simple majority vote, select any other or additional level of review. Subsection 8-8-7(B)(2) shall be amended to read as follows: The board shall apply a "reasonable basis" standard of review when reviewing the Police Chiefs or City Manager's report. This requires the board to give deference to the Police Chiefs or City Manager's report because of the Police Chief's and City Manager's respective professional expertise. The board may recommend that the Police Chief or City Monagor reverse or-medify their findings issue a report that disagrees with the decision set forth in the Police Chiefs and/or City Manager's report only if: a. The Police Chiefs or City Manager's findings andfor conclusions are not supported by substantial evidence; b. The Police Chiefs or City Manager's findings and/or conclusions are unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious; or c. The Police Chief's or City Manager's findings and/or conclusions are contrary to a Police Department policy or practice, or any Federal, State, or local law. 4. Subsection 8-8-7(B)(3) shall be amended to read as follows: If, in accordance with said standard, the board affirms the decision of the Police Chief or City Manager with respect to the allegations of misconduct but nonetheless has concern about the officer's conduct or police practices, policies, or procedures, it may so comment in its report to the City Council. If such comments are critical of the officer's conduct the board shall provide the officer a name clearing hearing pursuant to subsection 146 B7 of this section. When collecting and reviewing additional evidence, the board shall rely on evidence which reasonably prudent persons are accustomed to rely upon in the conduct of their serious affairs. 5. Subsection 8-8-7(B)(4) shall be amended to read as follows: If the board disagrees with the decision of the Police Chief or City Manager with respect to the allegations of misconduct, the board and the Police Chief and/or City Manager shall meet in closed session to discuss their disagreement about the complaint. If the board requests the City Manager's presence at its meeting with the Police Chief, the City Manager will also attend. Such meeting shall take place prior to the issuance of the board's public report to the City Council. Within seven days after such meeting. the Police Chief and/or City Manager may, in the Police Chiefs or City Manager's discretion, issue an amended investigative report for the board's consideration. 6.
