What’s in it

AI summary The Iowa law enforcement academy council could take away or suspend the licenses of police officers or reserve officers for specific reasons. This would happen if an officer is fired for good cause or if they quit while facing disciplinary action that would have led to them being fired. The council can only use these specific reasons to revoke or suspend a license.1
