President’s Message
Incentives for 100% Sheriff’s Office Membership;
Steadfast Support for Uniform Regulations Manual
Greetings! Before I get to my first quarterly President’s Message, let me thank all
of you who were responsible for placing
me in this position and for putting your
trust in me to lead the ISSDA. This position means a lot to me, and I’m honored by
the privilege you have given me. You have
my word that as president I will serve this
Association to my fullest ability.
I thought I would use this article to talk
a little about the current status of the Association. Let’s talk first about membership.
For 2014, the ISSDA had a total of 1,943
members comprised of 1,044 sheriffs and
deputies, 432 jailers, 410 full-time civilian
employees, and 57 lifetime members. This
was up a total of 103 members from 2013,
but down 22 members from 2012.
When compared to the total number of
sheriffs and deputies in Iowa – according
to IPERS as of June 20, 2014 – we find
64.13% are ISSDA members. When compared to the total number of jailers in the
state according to IPERS as of June 20,
2014, we find that 27.94% of them are ISSDA members. Although the member numbers for sheriffs and deputies are good – but
could be better – it does show there is much
room for improvement with the jailer membership numbers. Due to IPERS coding
constraints, I was unable to get statewide
information on the number of full-time civilian Sheriff’s Office employees.
In order to encourage additional Association membership, at the January 2015
ISSDA Board meeting the Directors elected to offer an incentive for counties to have
100% membership in ISSDA. If a county
has 100% annual membership, including
the sheriff, all full-time deputies and all
full-time sheriff’s office employees, it will
be entitled to one or more free school registrations at an upcoming civil and/ or jail
school for that calendar year.
The number of free school registrations
to which a county is entitled is determined
by the total number of the county’s members, and ranges between one and four free
attendees. If your county qualifies for this
100% membership, your sheriff can indicate this on the schools registration form
when you register.

Let’s next review the Association’s financial status. Quite honestly, we’re in
great shape folks. As a quick reminder,
there are two sides to our Association: the
“Association” side, which is our membership, and the “Institute Side,” which is our
honorary membership. For our 2015 budget, the Board of Directors created an Association budget with expenses at $141,400
and incomes at $179,100, showing a net
profit of $37,700; and an Institute budget
with expenses at $327,135 and incomes at
$342,000, showing a net profit of $14,865.
This gives us a total net profit from both
sides at $52,565. In addition, last year the
Board of Directors adopted and approved
an investment policy. In January, we met
with our financial advisors and verified we
are adhering to that investment policy –
utilizing the very same sound and guarded
investment safeguards that large endowments and universities use. The year 2014
was a positive one for ISSDA investments,
and as of Jan. 12, 2015, using our balanced
model we had a combined investment portfolio of $455,864. These figures should
demonstrate just how financially stable
your Association actually is. As a side note,
during the Past-President’s Luncheon at
our recent Winter School, former Mon-
roe County Sheriff Dennis Carr lamented
when he was ISSDA President in 1976 and
1977, it was not uncommon for the Board
to pass the hat around during Winter School
just so the school would break even! We’ve
definitely come a long way.
Since you’re reading The Gold Star
magazine, let’s talk briefly about the topic
of photos appearing in the magazine that
was also discussed at the January Board
of Directors meeting. Specifically, the conversation centered on photos containing
images of sheriffs, deputies, and marked
Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicles that do
not meet the standards as published in the
ISSDA Uniform Regulations Manual. The
Board of Directors has been steadfast in
understanding the importance of having
sheriffs adhere to our uniform and vehicle
marking standards. By publishing photos in
The Gold Star Magazine that do not meet
these standards, it gives the impression
that ISSDA is endorsing those images. In
an attempt to garner additional voluntary
compliance with the uniform and vehicle
marking standards published in the ISSDA Uniform Regulations Manual, by motion, the Board of Directors unanimously
decided that all photos appearing in The
Gold Star are required to meet the uniform
standards. Photos that do not meet the uniform standards will not be published in the
magazine. When these discrepancies are
discovered, the sheriff will be contacted,
advised of the discrepancy and given the
opportunity to resubmit photos that meet
the proper uniform standards. Otherwise,
the article will be published without the
non-compliant photographs.
Finally, although we’re in the middle
of winter, let’s talk about the ISSDA YCamp. The ISSDA Board of Directors, at
their January meeting, decided to increase
the number of ISSDA-sponsored campers
from 99 to 125. In 2014, only 55 counties
sent campers to the Y-Camp. By increasing the number of sponsored campers to
125, counties that are interested should be
able to send two campers this year instead
of just one. In addition, this should allow
counties that do not currently send campers to do so, if they so desire. As I close, I
Secretary’s Message
Improving Law Enforcement’s Image
It is a difficult time right now to be a
peace officer. There has been a considerable
amount of negative publicity surrounding
law enforcement, lately, that has shone a
very bright light on very limited areas of
our profession. Specifically: race relations,
use of force, and allegations of discrimination in these areas have fueled a considerable amount of criticism from the public,
the media, and some politicians. Much of
the protests began after a Grand Jury declined to file charges against the officer involved in a shooting death of a young male
in Ferguson (St. Louis), Missouri. There
is much speculation and debate over the
details of this incident, but I do not want
to get involved in that here. Instead, using
the reactions to the Ferguson case as an example, I’d like to ask all sheriffs, deputies,
jailers, correctional officers and anyone
else who comes into contact with the public
in a criminal justice capacity to do everything possible to promote law enforcement
in the positive and professional image that
we all know it really is.
I believe law enforcement has been very
negatively portrayed lately in the media.
That can get discouraging, but I believe the
solution is for us to continue to hold on to
the values that make us who we are, and to
continue to strive to do the best job possible and be a positive role model both on
Major John Godar
Linn County Sheriff’s Office
and off the job. Our image is important, and
I believe we have to work very hard to protect it. Remember the first level of force on
the old “Force Continuum”? It is “Officer
Presence.” Our presence at a scene should
be a positive and reassuring one, letting
people know that we are responsible, professional and we are there to solve the
problem; not make it worse. We need the
public to respect our authority and we need
to accept the responsibilities that go along
with that authority. One negative public
display by a deputy can ruin hundreds of
positive acts by other deputies.
In an effort to make the public aware
of all the positive actions law enforcement
personnel perform every year, I am asking
each of you to do your best every day to
promote a positive image of law enforcement. Educate the media, politicians and
the public in a positive way when the full
story has yet to be heard on a particular
topic or issue. I also ask that you submit
information to The Gold Star magazine on
events that show the hard work deputies
and others are doing in helping our communities and promoting a very positive
image of law enforcement. Please send
stories and photos of any charity events
you sponsor or help with, community improvement events and any other positive
representations of law enforcement to [email protected]. We need to do
our best to maintain the professionalism of
our office so that “officer presence” actually means something positive. Please help
us educate the public and the media of the
good work performed by ISSDA members
each and every day.
Thank you and please, STAY SAFE!

New Policy Covers Photos of Iowa Sheriffs, Deputies and Marked Patrol Vehicles
The Gold Star Will Only Publish S.O. Photos of People & Vehicles

and medical bills. In the two years doing this, the sheriff’s office
has raised over $8,000.

ISSDA 2014 Winter School Donation Drive
Sought Camp Courageous “Wish List” Items
By Sheriff Larry Richtsmeier
Franklin County Sheriff’s Office
During the summer, I met with the
Iowa Sheriffs’ and Deputies’ Association
(ISSDA) Board and pitched the idea for the
Association to collect donations for Camp
Courageous in Monticello, Iowa.
The Board approved the idea, and I sent
out a “wish list” request for the 2014 Winter School. The goal was to fill my Ford
Expedition patrol vehicle, and you can see
by the picture below of myself with 2014
ISSDA President Don DeKock, we easily
reached that goal before Monday by noon.
I had a wishful backup plan and a
friend, Thomas Craighton, brought a 12 x
6 covered trailer for my use. I moved the
items from my vehicle to the trailer, along
with the donations from the rest of the Conference, and we covered the floor of the
trailer.
Pocahontas County Sheriff Robert
Lampe came up to me on Monday and
advised that my “Expedition wasn’t big
enough.” The picture below of me, Sheriff Lampe, and 2014 ISSDA President
DeKock shows the donations from one of
two vehicle loads that Pocahontas County
brought. Sheriff Lampe advised that the
items from both vehicles were from one
person, Lee Holder, from Pocahontas
County. This is the most from one agency.
There were items of all kinds from the
wish list: cleaning supplies, food stuffs,
tee-shirts, personal hygiene items and several individuals left checks and cash for the
Camp Courageous.
Thrifty-White Pharmacy was one of
the vendors for the Conference, and their
representative, Erin Moss, donated a shopping bag of items at the conference and
she made arrangements with me to pick
up some over-the-counter items they had
just purchased from a pharmacy. Several
days after my return to Franklin County,
I received a phone call from Erin and she
advised that they had six boxes of items
for me at their Clear Lake store. I took my
personal vehicle up and Val, Tisha and Katie from Thrifty-White Pharmacy store #62
had the items all boxed up and waiting.
ISSDA came through for Camp Courageous, and several people come up to me at
Val, Tisha and Katie
the Conference and wanted to make sure I
was going to do this again next year. I will
as long as the Association lets me.
“Thank You” to 2014 ISSDA President
Don DeKock and the Board for letting me
do this. I would like to thank all ISSDA
members for donating, and the vendors who
contributed to this year’s project. When I
delivered the donated items to Camp Courageous Director Charlie Becker, he understood what I meant when I told him, “The
Sheriffs’ and Deputies’ Association and all
their staffs back home are very caring and
want to help all people in Iowa.” My red
wagon will see you again next year!
P.S. - The goal is to fill the trailer next
year, so start early!
