MPACT, Marshalltown Police and Community Team, has grown to three advocates and nearly 24/7 coverage. David Hicks, Director of Community Engagement for YSS in Marshalltown oversees the program. He gave an update yesterday about the funding ending for the program December 31st, 2026. Hicks says they have looked into federal funding to continue this program, but there is one common theme he keeps finding. Hicks says there are a few avenues they are currently working but nothing has been secured to continue this program beyond December 31st, 2026.
