BETTENDORF, IOWA – On September 3 and 4, 2014, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, Iowa State Patrol, Scott County Sheriff’s Office, Bettendorf Police Department, Quad City Metropolitan Enforcement Group and Marion Police Department conducted a joint undercover enforcement operation targeting prostitution in the area. Law enforcement authorities worked with management of the Isle of Capri Bettendorf for the use of hotel rooms to conduct this operation and say the enhanced surveillance capabilities of the facility contributed to the success of the operation.
