The Iowa City Council will discuss the police department s use of the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle at a work session Tuesday after hearing renewed concern from community members over the past year.
Iowa City Manager Geoff Fruin requested a memo from Police Chief Dustin Liston ahead of the meeting so council members could better understand how the MRAP is used and how often, and what alternative vehicles could potentially be purchased.
Since the MRAP was acquired in 2014 by Johnson County as part of a federal government surplus program, the Iowa City Police Department has used it seven times, Liston wrote in the memo.
