THE SHERIFF’S STAR ✰ JANUARY / FEBRUARY 2010 1 FLORIDA SHERIFFSFLORIDA ASSOCIATION OFFICERS

A message from the President It is with a heavy heart that I write this col- umn. As you may have seen on the preceding page, the Florida Sheriffs Association lost its Executive Director Gary Perkins in January. As much as business must go on – this publication must go to press – I wanted to pause and pay tribute to the nearly 30 years Gary gave to this association. Gary was so conscientious – very devoted to the Sheriffs of Florida. And he had the respect of all his peers around the nation. Many Executive Directors from other state associations looked up to Gary because he helped make FSA one of the premier law enforcement organizations in the nation. They were constantly seeking his advice and for that reason, many other associations were patterned after Florida. We will be running a longer tribute to Gary in the next issue of The Sheriff’s Star. But for now, please keep this association, Gary’s family and the staff that will work to carry on his vision in your prayers.

Sumter County Sheriff William O. "Bill" Farmer, Jr. Changes ahead President of the Florida Sheriffs Association As we turn the page to a new decade, there are some major issues facing our state with regard to public safety and criminal FSA OFFICERS justice. And that means now – more than ever – your Florida 2009-2010 Sheriffs need your support. Please make a point to review our priority issues for this upcoming legislative session (starting on page 4). Refer to this Guidebook to find your state senator and representatives, then use whatever means you can to let them know you stand with the Sheriffs. Citizens should never underestimate the damage that one piece of bad legislation can do to our state and our local com- munities. At the same time, the positive effects that can come from good legislation. That’s why we work closely with our gov- ernmental consultant, Frank Messersmith, to keep tabs on the Harrell Reid Joey Dobson Vice President Immediate lawmakers’ agenda. And to make sure we get our views heard by Past President
