MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
I am honored to have been selected by my colleagues to serve as President of the Major County Sheriffs of America (MCSA). MCSA member sheriffs are responsible for protecting and serving over 120 million Americans—about one-third of the country—and our MCSA leadership team is committed to representing our fellow sheriffs in our mission of leading the way for a safer America.
While we may face challenges within our own communities and states, together we can solve complex issues and accomplish so much more. Our shared experiences and knowledge bolster our influence over proposed federal and state legislation that can have a direct impact on public safety.
Law enforcement has become more than just enforcing the law. We are responsible for mental health issues, effective alternatives to incarceration, strong community partnerships, supporting federal and state initiatives at the local level and other emerging threats and issues facing our jurisdictions.
MCSA works with the largest sheriffs’ offices to address issues of public concern with a sense of urgency through advocacy, communication, education, and research. Our sheriffs’ agencies are united and we challenge each other to be better prepared to meet public safety needs.
