NSA Pledges Its Support to North Dakota Sheriffs

Click below to share your story about law enforcement, protesters, and the Dakota Access Pipeline. It's never been more important and can make a real difference.

Morton County Sheriff's Department (ND) is under tremendous pressure due to the protests along the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) and have called upon the National Sheriffs' Association to help. Law enforcement officers from 35 state and local agencies across North Dakota and Wisconsin have showed up to help, but assistance is still needed. That's why we're here and that's why we're asking for your video testimonials.

Law enforcement has to abide a host of legitimate methods and means to protect our ranchers, farmers and the community.  Similarly they have an obligation to protect the right of protesters to exercise their free speech.
