The National Sheriffs' Association (NSA) is a U.S. trade association dedicated to raising the level of professionalism among U.S. sheriffs, their deputies and others in the fields of criminal justice and public safety. Since its founding in 1940, NSA has been the one voice of the nation's sheriffs in Washington, D.C. As one of the largest law enforcement organizations in the country, NSA is the leading advocate on law enforcement, criminal justice and public safety issues. Its Government Affairs Division, in conjunction with the Congressional Affairs Committee, develops the Association's policy positions and represents the Association before the United States Congress, the White House, and the various federal agencies. A sheriff generally serves as the highest, usually elected, law enforcement officer of a county. Over 99% of the nation's sheriffs are elected. The political election of a person to serve as a law enforcement leader is an almost uniquely American tradition. The practice has been followed in the British Channel Island of Jersey since at least the 16th Century. ==Purpose== The NSA provides resources, technical assistance, opportunities for professional development, information, congressional advocacy, to criminal justice practitioners. Its annual conferences provide networking opportunities, discussion, review and formation of the Association's national policy positions on critical criminal justice and homeland security issues, and training and seminars for the Nation's sheriffs and sheriff deputies. During the 2009 Annual Conference in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano gave the keynote address focusing on the Department's law enforcement priorities including border security and immigration. Nominee of Republican Party for President, Senator John McCain, delivered his crime speech〔(McCain Remarks Before the National Sheriffs' Association Annual Conference - washingtonpost.com )〕 as the Keynote Speaker〔(Obama focuses on faith; McCain slams earmarks in crime speech - CNN.com )〕 at the 2008 Annual Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. Chartered in 1940, the NSA represents over 3,000 elected sheriffs nationwide and has a membership of over 22,000. Its headquarters is in Alexandria, Virginia.
