Low 39 Waterloo Police are working to fix a racial divide fix a racial divide between officers and people in the city. The police chief says building a bridge between minority communities and police wont be easy and it will take time. A department of justice review released earlier this year noted a clear lack of trust between the Minority Community and some community relationships. Hiring more minority officers and. Increasing transparency on complaints and discipline. There were initial calls for police chief dan trelka to step down. Instead, in september, the city reduced his duel role overseeing the police and Fire Departments to just law enforcement. Trelka now says he has a plan to turn the pd around within 5 years. Kcrg tv9s phil reed investigates. Kid being pulled by the hair and yelled at by a white police officer. Its the most recent issue between Waterloo Police and the black community. The city also paid out two Million Dollars to settle a wrongful death lawsuit family of a black man shot and killed by a white officer. If you put on that uniform and youre scared of the black man, then you shouldnt put on that uniform Anthony White says those cases highlight the disconnect he feels and sees between police and the black community. All they do is ride in their car and they dont know the community. And they sort of snobbish to the young folks, well the young folks get snobbish back police chief dan trelka says part of the problem is a lack diversity in his department. With only two black officers, and one hispanic, the majority of waterloo Police Officers are white there are times where are newer officers will roll up on two seventeen year old black men street. And they will have a preconceived notion that they are gang members. They are not. And the message i just articulated to you. I need to articulate to my officers if you come from a Little Country town and was probably raised never to interact with blacks and now all of a sudden you wanna be a policeman and this is what you have to do, well you dont know how to do it. The solution, trelka believes, is getting officers out and involved more in the community. And he wants to sit down with some people his officers may have arrested to see how they can fix the department. Ive developed a team of lons. A team of convicted citizens who have been convicted felonies who are gogoit wn with me and we are going to ok at our polies. Especially us force policies one of them is christopher short. He served time for arson, and battery lice of ve probly done altogether ing released, and s a nelook outlook on ficers. I actually see them ase that are trying to help, but also as human beings that make mistakes as well he knows those mistakes can be costly. So he is talking with gang members to see why they turn to crime and how police can help break the cycle. Married to a black woman, he says gives him a unique perspective into the issues. I do know what it feels like to face racism head on. A lot of worry about my wife you cant help not to when you see the stuff going on. Ultimately, trelka says the department of justice report paints a picture of a department disconnected. And a black community wanting better relationships with police. Out of the 148 shootings we had in waterloo last year, most of them were Property Damage shootings. Shooting up cars shooting up houses. Over 90 percent of the victims were African Americans. So African American citizens dont want to be policed, they want to be protected. White agrees. And he wants the department to know there are people out here looking to work with them to make a difference. Get to know the community. That way you get to know the good folks, and the bad folks. In waterloo phil reed kcrg tv9 news Authorities Say the autopsy for a teenager killed during a waterloo shooting is set for today.
