People who have complaints or compliments for Davenport police can tell their stories to an accreditation team. Two assessors from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies will spend the first half of next week reviewing the department.
Davenport Police Captain Jane Imming says they'll examine whether the department and its employees are complying with nearly 500 different standards. The categories include administration, operations, use of force, and an early identification system for officers.
Then she says supervisors meet with the officer to see if the department can help resolve work or personal issues.
The assessors are a police chief from Texas and a Deputy Chief from Florida who are set to arrive Sunday. Imming says they'll meeting with as many employees as possible plus members of the community.
On Monday, Davenport residents will have a couple of ways to comment. Captain Imming says they may call between 1 and 3 p.m. to tell the assessment team what they think. That number is 563.888.3700.
And a public hearing will be held Monday at 6:30 p.m. at the Davenport Police Department.
