Welcome Home

The Wisconsin Sheriffs and Deputy Sheriffs Association has been serving law enforcement and the public for over 65 years!

Our nonprofit organization is dedicated to raising the level of professionalism among those in the criminal justice field. Our purpose is to promote the public's welfare through the cooperation of Wisconsin Sheriffs, deputy sheriffs and jail officers, and the performance of their duties. Approximately 2,000 members enjoy the services and fellowship the association provides. The WSDSA provides a summer and winter training conference, for a very minimal cost, to its members.

Some other programs and activities the association sponsors:

• A written essay contest for Wisconsin eighth-grade students. Best essays are awarded a cash prize, and students are acknowledged in the association's magazine.
• The Criminal Justice Law Enforcement or Criminal Justice Corrections provides seven students a $500 scholarship to continue their studies at vocational technical schools.
• An association-hired lobbyist represents our interests in Madison.
• Association members serve as liaisons on other law enforcement organizations' committees and boards.
• The association has produced a "Security in the Court Systems" law enforcement manual.
