Miranda Adams – Council Bluffs Police Department

Written by CBKN76

In March 2020, Officer Miranda Adams filed a formal internal complaint alleging gender harassment by a male coworker. After her supervisor, Sgt. Robert Radford, received a written reprimand, Adams reported experiencing retaliation, including negative performance evaluations and disciplinary actions. In 2022, she filed complaints with the Iowa Civil Rights Commission and the EEOC, alleging discrimination and retaliation. In March 2023, Adams was terminated from the department, a decision later overturned by the Civil Service Commission. However, the city refused to reinstate her, leading Adams to file a federal lawsuit alleging civil rights violations.
