WSSA Committees
Sheriffs from across the West lead the committees that guide the work of our association.
Sheriffs in the Western US face unique challenges.
You don't have to face them alone. A WSSA membership helps you build an alliance, develop partnerships and connect with Sheriffs who understand your experiences.
Welcome to the Western States Sheriffs' Association
The mission of the Western States Sheriffs’ Association is to assist sheriffs and their offices with federal and state legislative issues, address policy and procedural matters, develop guidelines to promote uniformity in matters that are important to sheriffs of the western United States and to work together to keep the office of the Sheriff strong.
We know how important connection and collaboration are to law enforcement executives. A western Sheriff must balance matters like tribal concerns, floods, fires, and search and rescue alongside jails and other traditional responsibilities. That’s why we offer partnerships and provide timely resources.
- Build an alliance when facing distinctive concerns
- Develop partnerships among Sheriffs from neighboring states
- Connect with other Sheriffs who understand your experiences
- Find an avenue to discuss matters unique to the Western U.S.
Come In. Connect. Collaborate.
