Donate to OSSA

Every time you donate or become a member, you help OSSA continue to provide support and training to sheriff's offices across Oregon. Law enforcement officers risk their own well-being daily to protect and serve their communities.

Oregon's sheriffs are committed to the work of OSSA and strive to enhance criminal justice professionalism, improve law enforcement techniques and technology, and endeavor to collaboratively enhance community safety with their local, state, and federal law enforcement partners. The Oregon State Sheriffs' Association is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization.

The Oregon sheriffs and the Oregon State Sheriffs’ Association have six major goals which they are constantly striving to attain:

  1. Keeping up with police science and technology to provide appropriate educational programs for law enforcement personnel and the general public.
  2. Maintaining the role of sheriff as the chief law enforcement officer in the county.
  3. Developing and maintaining a public image that will permit the citizens to have confidence in the sheriff’s ability to meet modern police problems.
  4. Working together to solve the problems of all Oregon sheriffs and meet the challenges collectively.
  5. Provide scholarships to worthy second-year college law enforcement/corrections students.
  6. Provide a historical museum of Oregon sheriffs memorabilia.
