Local law enforcement officers are on alert on Election Day in Scott, Rock Island counties

QUAD CITIES, Iowa/Ill. (KWQC) – Local law enforcement will increase their presence on Election Day in the Quad Cities.

“It’s just really important, I think, for peace of mind that we’re prepared for Election Day, and to make sure that if something were to happen in Scott County, we’re prepared.”
