Survey Services for Sheriffs' Offices

Sheriffs routinely request that our office survey Sheriffs' Offices statewide regarding practices or policies affecting their Office. In this way, many Sheriff's can learn from the experience of other jurisdictions, and not engage in "re-inventing the wheel". The Association designs and conducts the surveys and compiles the results, delivering them to all Sheriffs and pertinent staff members. This year, we have already conducted 21 surveys for Sheriffs.
