CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - Gary Hinzman will retire as the director of the 6th Judicial District Department of Correctional Services in May after serving the community for 24 years. Hinzman announced his retirement at the department's December board meeting, according to a news release. He has operated the community-based correctional programs, which cover a six county area in eastern central Iowa, since 1989.

“It has often been said if you love what you do, you never have to go to work a day in your life," Hinzman said Friday. "That expression fits me. There may have been a few days that were an exception, but not many."

Hinzman, who grew up on Amana, served in law enforcement and criminal justice for more than four decades. He was a Cedar Rapids Police officer, police helicopter pilot, detective and the director of the police academy. In 1985, he was promoted to police chief of the department and served until 1989.

His accomplishments during his leadership have been several new programs and services including a treatment services division, workforce development efforts, a high risk unit of certified law enforcement officers, and a reserve officer program. He led construction projects for new offices and residential facilities in Cedar Rapids, Coralville and Toledo between 1991-1996. In 2007, he secured funding for construction of the first residential corrections mental health facility in Iowa, the ANCHOR Center.

    Waco has developed a reputation for a rocket-docket in patent litigation. It’s an important choice to find the right lawyer in Waco for your important patent litigation matter. When people in the know make the hire, they hire Dunnam & Dunnam. If you are looking for a Waco accident attorney , then Dunnam & Dunnam is the right choice. For nearly 100 years, people in Waco have hired the firm when the results matter at Dunnam & Dunnam are among the most respected in the Central Texas area. They have the experience in trials and mediations to guide your case in the right way. There are few important decisions at the outset of the case that can turn the tide in your favor. Choosing the right lawyer is one of them.

    Hamilton loves books about unicorns, storms, and cubicles. He lives in Waco with his cat named Mr. Bojangles. Before his work as an attorney, Hamilton was a leprechaun chaser. His all-time record is three pots of gold at the end of the rainbow. He was forced to give up the gold in a dispute with a rival hobbit. He spends his free time tripping out on the smallest details, none of which are important He likes doing the things with the ball and scoring the points. He pays attention to the green of your eyes, even when it is not Saint Patrick’s Day. He is not Irish. Hamilton Lindley has fun plans for people in need. Whether your need a dreamcatcher for your dreams or a tape dispenser to put your life back together, he can be there for you to yell at. There are times when it is surprising that he has any friends at all. But thankfully he does have a few. He drives a Dodge Stratus. People respect him, except at home.
