MPACT community advocates Darcy Andersen and Autumn Drewelow have already been responding to calls in the first weeks since the program’s launch.
Interactions between the police and public are changing in Marshalltown.
The Marshalltown Police Department and Youth Shelter Services have launched their pilot program MPACT Marshalltown Police and Community Team.
The program teams law enforcement with social workers to help people in crisis without the need to make arrests when possible.
Two social workers, called community advocates, respond to calls with the police department when their services are appropriate. After police determine the situation is safe, the advocates can work with people to provide resources.

The city is looking at changes in expenses to eliminate its $62,193 deficit in the general fund budget for fiscal year 2022.
The Marshalltown City Council was presented a menu of five potential solutions to tackle the deficit. They are:
• Reduce agreement with the Marshalltown Chamber for tourism and marketing
• Reduce non-bargaining wage increase from 2.5 percent to lesser figure
• Transfer council-designated local option sales tax for deficit
• Use fund balance fiscal year 2021 projected to end with surplus of $400,000
• Reduce line items.
Line items were suggested by city departments when asked for reductions. Some of the larger line item reductions included the library book spending by $5,000, mosquito spray by $4,000 and Summer Blast admissions by $4,000.
