    City Manager Pomeranz:


     
    We, the members of the Cedar Rapids Police Union, feel compelled to express our
    opinion on the recent situation surrounding Chief Wayne Jerman’s ability to continue
    to lead the police department.
     
    We express no negative opinion as to how Chief Jerman has conducted himself as
    police chief.  We express no legal opinion on whether Iowa law would need to be
    changed to allow Chief Jerman to continue in his role as police chief.
     
    We do, though, adamantly oppose the idea of changing the Cedar Rapids Police
    Department from being led by a uniformed police chief to a civilian police or public
    safety director.  We strongly believe that our department should continue to be led by
    an Iowa Law Enforcement Academy certified police officer.
     
    We appreciate a unique situation has arisen with Chief Jerman and his age. 
    However, this unique situation should not cause the City to abandon its commitment
    to having the police department led by a uniformed chief.
     
    Sincerely,
     
    Michael Bailey
    CRPBU President

    City Manager Pomeranz,


     
    This email is being sent on behalf of the board members of the Cedar Rapids Bars and Stripes
    Association.  We would like to express to you our position on the possibility of having a civilian
    employee as the leader of our police department.  For a variety of reasons, we do not believe it is in
    the best interest of our membership, our department, or our city to have anything other than a
    certified peace officer as the leader of our department.  Our position is in no way a reflection of
    Chief Jerman’s leadership at our department, or service to our city, but is merely out of concern for
    the future success of the police department.
     
    If you would like to discuss further, please reach out.
     
    Respectfully,
     
    Sgt. Nick Nolte
    Cedar Rapids Police Department
    Desk: 319-286-5487

    City Manager Promeranz: 

    As President of The Fraternal Oder of Police Lodge 7, representing all rank and file of the
    Cedar Rapids Police Department,  I would like to state our Board's majority stance as follows;
    We would be against having a civilian public safety director. We believe in having an Iowa
    Law Enforcement Academy certified chief of police to lead our department. 

    We are more than willing to speak further on this matter if you request. We appreciate your
    understanding.

    Sincerely, 

    Matt Messer FOP Lodge 7 President
