Council voted to join the Metro East Auto Theft Task Force and to dedicate a full‑time Waterloo police officer to the regional initiative. Mayor Stanley Darter said the opportunity was offered to the city about five weeks earlier and praised it as beneficial for the police department: “I think it's a great opportunity for the city of Waterloo and, for our police department,” he said.
