The 3 deputies that are running the boat are very fine law enforcement officers. It was just a few months ago that Bob Godley risked his life by entering a burning house and pulling a woman out of it.I agree with you Huddle House…. Brannen and Coffel are very fine deputies. And it is wonderful that Robert W. Godley pulled a lady out of a burning house but… He does has a history that would make one question why Sheriff Smith would ever hire him back?
Deputy Godley left the Sheriff’s Office years ago after a female jailer brought Sexual Harassment charges against him. (Sheriff’s Smith was aware of this.)He left and got employed with the Bull Head City, Arizona Police Department within days of leaving the Camden County Sheriff’s Office. (Sheriff Smith never told them of the Sexual Harassment charges here he fled from.)Guess what? After several months Bull Head City Arizona Police Department fires Mr. Robert Godley for Sexual Harassment. (They called and informed Sheriff Smith of the facts.)
Robert Godley returns to the Camden County area gains employment at Kings Bays Naval Sub Base with the Department of Defense Police Department.Then one evening when Officer Robert Godley was working all alone someone using his card key scans his pass code enters a building and signs one to a computer using his secret internet I.D. and pass code and visits several internet child pornography websites. To say the least Naval Criminal Investigative Services did an investigation and this led to the termination of Officer Robert W. Godley. (Sheriff Smith was also called and informed of this information.)Now comes the crazy part. Sheriff Smith armed with all this personal knowledge of this unethical / criminal behavior. Why did he hire Officer Godley back? (Un-Ending loyalty because no one else in the business will touch him!) THATS WHY!Is it possible that his wife Judy Godley writes letters to the editor to defend Sheriff Smith because of her husband’s new position?
These are not allegations, all of these incidents are part of Officer Robert Godley’s personnel files at all three departments and can be verified. Don’t hold your breath getting anything out of the Sheriff. 95% of the employees of the Camden County Sheriff’s Office are great people. But there are several employees that make it bad for all.
To the 95% Great Job! Keep your heads up! Keep doing a wonderful job!
TRSP Review:
More questions the Sheriff should answer, but won't.
He has not answered anything but the food for inmates and we all now know that the food was not for the inmates. When is the Sheriff going to take responsibility for his department?
If this is false the Sheriff should come out and say so. But if it is true you will not hear a word from Bill Smith.
More to come.

Mr. Rogers,
I did leave the post regarding the burning house. I was not aware
of the porn allegations.
I was told that Godley posted on this site and attributed his dismissal from NSB Security and subsequent TSA to my (Rich Gamble) being disgruntled over the election results.
This matter was long investigated and adminstrated before I retired and ran for sheriff. Godley should thank me for being fair and weighing the merits of each case. That prevented him from being indicted and only having to withstand adminstrative actions.
I was not the investigating agent, but rather the supervising agent that made that call. In our (NCIS) case Godley was charged with viewing child pornography on his work computer while he was the LT supervisor. Using his swipe card that granted him access into the space, it was easy to gather evidence and show it was Godley who had visited the sites on that occasion and a few others. However, his short duration on the child sites questioned his specific intent and I elected not to present it to the US Attorney. I told Godley this but I added we would seek job termnination and a copy of our report would be forwarded to POST, as appropriate. Godley was also required to report the matter to POST.
When Godley was being considered for the job at Security, I spoke highly about him and kept him in high esteem. The pornography incident tarnished that somewhat, but I attributed it to bad judgement, boredom, etc. It was what our investigation uncovered when I felt our profession would be better served without persons void of core values like that consistently displayed by Godley. Godley resigned after being investigated for stalking in Arizona. They provided the resignation, he provided the stalking during interview. Godley then became involved in another sexual matter at one of the depts north of Glynn. He reportedly "made out" in the lobby of one of the hotels in the presence of guest while in uniform and used his official position to threaten a rival suitor. He resigned under pressure.
It was the pattern that prompted me to report the matter to POST. He was terminated because the NSB CO did not want to employ someone looking at pornography on their computer when they should be guarding the base. The CO also did not understand why we would not pursue the child porn through the US Attorney.
Our (NCIS) computer forsenic expert advised me that Godley's short duration on the child sites would be a defense even though intent is not a required element. He explained it such that we could lose the case. At that time, we had a lot of cases and since there was administrative remedies, I decided to forego the referral.
Yes, I ran for sheriff and yes I lost by a wide margin. But my credentials and character are still impeccable. Also, words I spoke 4 years ago are currently being heard throughout the county.
I am not disgruntled. While I lost the race for sheriff, who was the real loser?
Rich Gamble you can tell the story any way you want but the fact is the sites in question were proven to but pop ups and seen for more then 1 to 2 sec. It is a fact that Officer Godley did NOT intentional view the sites in question.
Everyone now you wanted to run for sheriff when this was investigated
nice way to try and backdoor the sheriff
get a life gamble
for no more than 1 to 2 secs
