National Sheriffs' Association: The Voice of America's Sheriffs

Chartered in 1940, the National Sheriffs' Association is a professional association dedicated to serving the Office of Sheriff and its affiliates through police education, police training, and general law enforcement information resources. NSA represents thousands of sheriffs, deputies and other law enforcement, public safety profess

ionals, and concerned citizens nationwide. Through the years, NSA has provided programs for Sheriffs, their deputies, chiefs of police, and others in the field of criminal justice to perform their jobs in the best possible manner and to better serve the people of their cities, counties or jurisdictions. The National Sheriffs' Association headquarters is located in Alexandria, Virginia and offers police training, police information, court security training, jail information and other law enforcement services to sheriffs, deputies, and others throughout the nation. NSA has worked to forge cooperative relationships with local, state, and federal criminal justice professionals across the nation to network and share information about homeland security programs and projects. NSA serves as the center of a vast network of law enforcement information, filling requests for information daily and enabling criminal justice professionals, including police officers, sheriffs, and deputies, to locate the information and programs they need. NSA recognizes the need to seek information from the membership, particularly the sheriff and the state sheriffs' associations, in order to meet the needs and concerns of individual NSA members. While working on the national level, NSA has continued to seek grass-roots guidance, ever striving to work with and for its members, clients, and citizens of the nation. NSA has through the years assisted sheriffs' offices, sheriffs' departments and state sheriffs' associations in locating and preparing applications for state and federal homeland security grant funding. The NSA record and reputation for integrity and dependability in the conduction of such public safety programs among government agencies is well recognized and has led to continuing opportunities to apply for grants on the national, state, and local levels as well as management of service contracts.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement nearly matched all of last year’s arrests in just the first 50 days of President Donald Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration, the Department of Homeland Security said.

“We as sheriffs think it's long overdue,” said Sheriff Kieran Donahue of Canyon County, Idaho, who also serves as NSA president.

ICE agents made 32,809 enforcement arrests in Trump's first 50 days. Nearly half were convicted criminals.

Trump Wants Sheriffs to Aid Deportation Efforts, but Who Would Pay?

The Trump administration is counting on the nation’s sheriffs to assist in enforcing its immigration policies, but holding undocumented immigrants in local jails comes with a price tag.

At the National Sheriff Association's winter conference this month, Tom Homan, the administration's border czar, asked for local law enforcement's assistance when it comes to detaining migrants.

"So I hope all you sheriffs in the room, we need your bed space," Homan said. "We need that force multiplier."

But law enforcement officials from both political parties told CBS News they're short-staffed, short of funds and short of space.

"The sheriffs across this country are standing ready, but it's going to take time, and it's going to take resources, and it's going to take money," Kieran Donahue, of Canyon County, Idaho, said.

With ICE facilities over capacity, the Trump administration has requested the help of local law enforcement to detain migrants, but some sheriffs say they don't have enough resources.

"Homan said at an annual meeting of the National Sheriffs' Association in Washington, D.C., that the administration was working to allow U.S. sheriffs to detain migrants in their jails using their state-level standards instead of more rigorous U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) guidelines and to reduce the number of federal inspections."

The Trump administration aims to lower its existing detention standards to encourage more U.S. sheriffs to provide jail space to detain immigrants in the U.S. illegally, Trump's border czar Tom Homan said on Saturday.

The National Sheriffs’ Association continues to raise awareness about domestic violence during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. National statistics show that 1 in 4 women and 1 in 7 men will be victims of domestic violence in their lifetimes. Domestic violence is a learned behavior, and data shows that children who witness domestic violence are twice as likely to abuse their partners and children when they become adults. We must do more to change the next generation and break the cycle of abuse. Our current President, Canyon County, Idaho Sheriff Kieran Donahue, has made domestic violence awareness one of the cornerstones of his platform during his tenure as NSA President. He has worked his entire career to raise awareness about the issue. Twelve years ago, he and his wife, Jeanie, founded the Man Up Crusade, a nonprofit domestic violence awareness campaign to help bring more attention to the issue. Along with PRCA professional rodeos, the Man Up Crusade also partners with PBR events nationwide to host “Purple Night” and “Purple Day” events to raise awareness and provide funding for domestic violence shelters and advocacy groups in those communities. Below is a PSA played at PBR events nationwide during their purple night/purple day events to highlight the partnership between the Man Up Crusade and the PBR and their commitment to raising awareness about this critical issue facing our country today. We urge everyone to join the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Man Up Crusade to take a stand and help bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth💜 #EndDomesticViolence #BreakTheCycle #DVAM2024 #NSA #NationalSheriffsAssociation #PBR #PurpleNight

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and current NSA President Sheriff Kieran Donahue has made it one of his focuses during his tenure as President of the National Sheriffs’ Association. Domestic violence is an issue that affects more than 12 million people each year in the United States. On average, more than three women are murdered by their intimate partners every day in our country. Sheriff Donahue has been passionate about the issue of domestic violence for a long time, and he continues to work to raise awareness across our country. In 2012, he and his wife, Jeanie, founded the Man Up Crusade, a nonprofit domestic violence awareness campaign to help bring more attention to the issue of domestic violence in our country and to help change the next generation to break the cycle of abuse. The Man Up Crusade partners with PRCA rodeos nationwide, where the event partners host “Purple Night” and “Purple Day” to raise awareness and provide funding for domestic violence shelters and advocacy groups in those communities. The video below highlights the partnership with the PRCA and their commitment to raising awareness about domestic violence. It was taken this past August at his hometown PRCA rodeo, the Caldwell Night Rodeo, and features interviews with professional stock contractors, athletes, and ProRodeo Hall of Fame announcer Randy Corley about the importance of speaking up and bringing awareness to the issue of domestic violence. We urge everyone to join the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Man Up Crusade to take a stand and help bring awareness to the issue of domestic violence. #DomesticViolenceAwarenessMonth💜 #EndDomesticViolence #BreakTheCycle #DVAM2024 #NSA #NationalSheriffsAssociation #PBR #PurpleNight
