SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – Since 1928, the Illinois Sheriffs’ Association (ISA) has been dedicated to improving public safety.
Our primary mission is to assist our 102 County Sheriffs throughout the state with training, communication, and the necessary resources for them to serve local communities more efficiently.
The Office of Sheriff is the longest continuously existing non-military law enforcement entity in history. Ninety-five years after our founding, we continue to make a difference to the lives of the Sheriffs we serve and Illinois Citizens.
In today’s complex society, there are rigorous demands and requirements for law enforcement. The ISA is dedicated to supporting the time-honored Office of Sheriff in Illinois by upholding each Sheriff’s rights to perform their sworn duty to serve and protect Illinois citizens. ISA promotes sound legislation to help our law enforcement officers and better serve the public.
The Illinois Sheriffs’ Association’s true power arises from the support of our Citizen Members. Thousands of individuals and businesses join forces, become honorary members to offer financial support so that we can continue our good work supporting Illinois Sheriffs and the communities they serve. We understand that our youth are the key to the future.
