A note from Tiffany DeBoer
My name is Tiffany DeBoer. I am a Deputy with the Benton County Sheriff’s Office and have been employed with them since the beginning of 2025. I began my career with Cedar Rapids Police in 1994. I have been in various roles with a couple of different Police Departments in Law Enforcement since that time frame. The SRO position will be new to me.
I look forward to the opportunity of interacting with your students in any way I can. My primary focus will be to build a positive relationship with the students and staff. I will also focus on maintaining a safe learning environment. I will be readily available to assist you with any challenges that may arise, and to help educate students and staff on issues related to law enforcement and school safety. I ask that you assist me in getting acquainted with the inner workings of the district.
As your SRO, I am committed to:
o Promoting the law enforcement profession and being a positive role model to students.
o Building working relationships with the school’s staff as well as with student and parent groups.
o Attending and participating in school functions.
o Interacting with students throughout the district’s various locations.
o Providing a proactive approach to deterring criminal activity and student misconduct.

What is your favorite thing about being a Bobcat?
My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the strong sense of community. Everyone (students, staff, and families) works together to create a supportive and welcoming environment where we can make a real difference in the lives of our students every day.
