Welcome
to the Secretary-Treasurer page of the Iowa Peace Officers Association.
I have 42 years of Law Enforcement experience. Most of those,24 years
as Police Chief in Denver and 18 years with the Bremer County Sheriffs Office retiring in May of 2019. I had the pleasure
of serving as President of the Association in 2000 and assumed the
Secretary-Treasurer duties in December of 2005. If you have questions or
concerns about
membership, please contact me. I am also privileged to work with the
Iowa D.A.R.E. Advisory Board and serve the youth of Iowa as Deputies and
Officers throughout the state work to reduce the use of drugs among our youth and to assist them in making good decisions and choices for their future. The IPOA was there at the beginning of D.A.R.E. in Iowa and we have always supported the program.
We continue to search for interesting articles for future magazines, departments that wish to submit articles are requested to contact me by email. We are very interested in your department and this is your opportunity to let the rest of us know what's been going on in your jurisdiction. Articles pertaining to current training issues would be most welcome. I
would also encourage you to support our Vendors and Advertisers when
looking to make your next purchase. Without their support we would not
be able to put out such a fine magazine and host our Training Conference
at reduced rates.
The Board is continuing to update the site and offer more information that Officers have requested in the past. Check the page often as we continue to change and update items. Send us information you may want posted in regards to your department.
This Web Page
is available to our Members to advertise Law Enforcement related
training that you may be hosting. If you would like to be listed under
the Training section, send
us the information and the link to your local site for further
information. We can also post Job Openings and Help Wanted ads.
Our magazine, "Iowa Law Enforcement" & "The Iowa Gold Star" have joined together for an all new publication. This offers a great opportunity to our Advertisers as they double their circulation with one ad. Please contact me for further information.
Enjoy each day and Please......arrive home safely at the end of your tour.
