No Reversal on Report Policy in Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wallace LaPeters affirmed no reversal of the policy to withhold certain details from robbery and burglary reports. After a meeting with Gazette staff, Safety Commissioner James Steinbeck said full reports on armed robberies would resume to news media, with limited exceptions for sensitive information. LaPeters noted that only two changes could trigger a reversal: a formal order shift or strong public outcry, and he outlined examples where specifics like the number of firearms or valuables should not be disclosed. He added that reporters may still receive the base reports, but certain details may be withheld in sensitive cases.
