Iowa City police reform debate: When should officers be armed?

View Comments It has been nearly a year since demonstrators called on Iowa City to restructure a police department that they believe has historically been used to reinforce a white power structure. On Tuesday, that discussion dominated two meetings of city officials, showing again that there is no clear agreement about what police reform will look like. The issue at one meeting was whether it would be better to give police officers some discretion over when they carry their handguns on a call: for example, into a school building. Some City Council members and those who serve on a citizen-led police board wondered if armed officers sometimes bring tension into otherwise-benign situations.
