Duties Of Police Change Greatly Through Years
The DeWitt Iowa chief of police duties have shifted since 1868. Minutes from a June 23 1868 council meeting set a 10 am to 10 pm coverage for quelling disturbances and arresting drunks, guarding cemeteries, impounding horses and cattle, and paying S Wicks seven dollars weekly plus fees. The 1957 City Code states the marshal is ex officio chief of police with supervision duties.
