Ask: Military-Grade Weapons
Do Iowa law enforcement agencies need 'military-grade” weaponry?
At least 13 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles are in the hands of law enforcement across Iowa, and untold numbers of officers and deputies have access to handheld, military-grade weaponry. Do Iowa law enforcement agencies need 'military-grade” weapons at their everyday disposal? Should the public have more input or oversight into the types of military surplus brought into Iowa communities?
