One voice for the Office of Sheriff
Government Affairs
Since its founding in 1940, the National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) has been the one voice of the nation's sheriffs in Washington, D.C. As one of the largest US law enforcement organizations, NSA is the leading advocate on law enforcement, criminal justice and public safety issues.
The Government Affairs Division, in conjunction with the Congressional Affairs Committee, develops the Association's law enforcement and homeland security policy positions and represents the Association before the United States Congress, the White House, and the various federal agencies. We continually work to build relationships with lawmakers and administration officials on both sides of the aisle and provide NSA members with up-to-date information on legislative developments that affect their public safety and homeland security interests.
