Iowa City Police will contact business operators when doors are found open after hours. If contact cannot be reached, officers may enter only with burglary evidence or with supervisor approval. Without evidence, they secure the building and increase watch until a contact person arrives. The policy updates follow the Aug. 30 shooting of Eric Shaw inside his father's business.
