"The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) is a U.S. (professional) trade
(nonprofit) association. Its stated purpose is to raise the level of
professionalism among U.S. sheriffs, their deputies and others in the fields of
criminal justice and public safety through police education, police training,
and general law enforcement information resources. It was established in 1940.
NSA's roots can be traced back to October 1888, when a group of sheriffs in
Minnesota and surrounding states formed an organization, which they named the
Inter-State Sheriffs' Association. The purpose of this association was to give
opportunity for a wider, mutual acquaintance, to exchange ideas for more
efficient service, and to assist one another in the apprehension of criminals.
Over the years the name was changed several times. It is assumed that as
laws changed and law enforcement grew and expanded along with the country, the
organization felt compelled to change its name to fit its membership and the
times. When law enforcement officials in other states and Canada expressed
interest in taking part in the Inter-State Sheriffs' Association, the group
subsequently changed its name to the International Sheriffs' and Police
Association. In 1908 the organization was briefly known as the National
Sheriffs' Association before its name was amended as the International Sheriffs
and Peace Officers Association and then later to the International Sheriffs and
Police Association. The organization disbanded in 1938.
The Articles of
Incorporation of the new National Sheriffs' Association were filed with the
Secretary of State of the state of Ohio on September 26, 1940.
A sheriff
generally serves as the highest, usually elected, law enforcement officer of a
county. Over 99% of the nation's sheriffs are elected. The political election of
a person to serve as a law enforcement leader is an almost uniquely American
tradition."
