The Cedar Falls Council is discussing the highly controversial Public Safety program where the police and firefighters are cross-trained in each other's profession if they choose. In an article from KWWL, council members talked about whether or not the combined program is working, as is, or if there are needed changes.
The now former Cedar Falls firefighters' union filed a petition in Black Hawk County District Court in 2019 in an attempt to overturn supervisory promotions.
