Tara Tigges, a Hudson resident, told the Black Hawk County Board of Supervisors that a police incident report authored by Hudson Police Chief Daniel Banks contained inaccurate information and had been relied on by third parties and her employer, causing reputational harm and contributing to the loss of her job at the Hudson Community School District.

"[The report] contains false information about me and was later relied upon as factual, resulting in reputational harm and subsequently contributing in the loss of my job at Hudson Community School District," Tigges said during the Jan. 6 meeting. She told the board she did not interact with Chief Banks on the day the report was written and that the report had been offered to the defendant’s daughter to support a restraining order. She said she received a no-contact order as the victim in a separate harassment incident.

Tigges said she sought clarification through county attorneys and by contacting the chief but received no guidance on independent review. She told supervisors she had submitted a copy of the incident report, county records identifying her as a victim in a separate matter, the no-contact order, and service records and asked the board to identify the oversight and review process for police reports used by third parties.

Board members did not take formal action in response to Tigges' remarks during the public-comment period. The board packet and meeting discussion later included routine administrative and budget items but did not record a directive from supervisors to the county attorney or law enforcement to open an investigation in response to Tigges' statements during the segment.

Tigges asked for transparency and accountability in how incident reports are created and shared; her materials were offered to the county for review. The board did not provide a specific timeline for any follow-up at the time she spoke.

What's next: Tigges provided documentary records to the board for review. The board may refer citizen submissions to the county attorney or affected agency; no referral or investigation was announced in the meeting record.
