Iowa City Press-Citizen
Iowa legislators are considering a bill that would make it a crime not to call emergency responders to report someone who seems to be in serious danger.
The effort stems from the death of Noah Herring, a 15-year-old Tiffin resident who drowned in the Coralville Reservoir last April.
His family is hopeful the bill will pass, according to a statement provided to the Press-Citizen Tuesday.
The Johnson County Sheriff s Office said three teens and one adult were present when Herring drowned on April 7, but none placed a call to law enforcement to get help.
During initial interviews with the sheriff s office, the individuals didn t tell the authorities where to find Herring or what had happened, Sheriff Brad Kunkel told the Press-Citizen shortly after the investigation concluded.
That wasn’t unexpected as emergency workers face a higher risk of exposure simply because their jobs require daily contact with the community.
Despite that risk, the number of COVID-19 infections among first responders in Linn and Johnson counties has stayed relatively low.
Many of the Corridor departments attribute that fact to the mitigation protocols put in place at the start of the pandemic. Ten months later, those protocols still appear to be effective.
Police departments
The department has 225 police officers, and 155 officers and commanders are assigned to patrol. Public safety spokesman Greg Buelow said the positive cases were among all department employees, including civilians.
