The Iowa Quad Cities Law Enforcement Community Partnership has been meeting regularly since June 2020 to discuss community police issues that arose nationally in the summer of 2020. The Partnership will work collaboratively to address issues such as disproportionality in police operations, develop strategies to engage people of color in process improvements and recruitment, and review current public safety organizational policies.
