Garrison
Tabbed
to Head DNR's Law Enforcement Bureau
Posted 18 February
2010
An avid outdoorsman by choice and a law enforcement professional by
trade, Robert O. Garrison has been named as the new chief of the law
enforcement bureau for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
Garrison, who served as chief of the Iowa State Patrol for eight years,
has most recently served as chief of security for the Iowa Department
of Corrections. He succeeds Randy Edwards who retired as chief in
November after nearly 35 years with the DNR.
"We are extremely pleased to have an individual of Mr. Garrison's
extensive leadership experience join the DNR," said DNR Director
Richard Leopold.
As chief, Garrison will lead a bureau of 97 employees including 91
sworn peace officers. He will start his new position during the second
week of March.
"I am honored by this appointment as the Chief of Law Enforcement with
the Iowa Department of Natural Resources," said Garrison
"The officers of the DNR have the extremely complex job of balancing
public recreation with the conservation of Iowa's natural resources.
Their responsibilities are very challenging and require a diverse
knowledge of law enforcement, public relations and conservation
techniques. I will do my best to represent the organization with the
level of respect and trust that they have garnered from the citizens
that they serve," Garrison added.
A native of Emmetsburg, Garrison joined the Iowa State Patrol in 1975.
After serving the Patrol in a variety of positions, he was named chief
in October of 1999. Garrison has extensive leadership and training
experience through his time with the Patrol as well as BS and MS
degrees in nursing from Drake University.
