To our fallen but not forgotten: Your efforts were not in vain but of valor. Your time was not a waste but of want. The span between us is a fleeting moment. We do not know the hour of our setting sun, and do not control what the cause may bring us to our end. The one thing we can know, and control is the “Dash” in the middle. For it is our “Dash” from our beginning to our end that people will remember us for. Kathy Cox, Gordon County, 2008 Charles “Chip” Case, City of Augusta, 2020

Good Morning Members, Attached here are the instructions for entering your ICC CEU credits that you earn by attending a G.A.C.E. conference. Please let me know if you need further assistance! Regards, Keith Colquitt President

This past conference at Brasstown Valley Resort I was talking to a couple of people and the subject of the plain view doctrine came up. It was suggested that as Sergeant at Arms I should look this up and make this information available to the general membership. I thought this was a great idea! It has taken me a little longer than I wanted but never the less here it is. This information is available in the ICC Legal Aspects of Code Administration manual on pages 65 – 66. This information is good for everyone to brush up on to be sure you cover yourself while on the job and to ensure you do not get caught in a legal loop-hole in court. I hope that you each benefit from this and please above all else be safe out there every day!!! Keith Colquitt GACE Sergeant at Arms
