Sheriffs desiring to enhance the service provided to our citizens organized the Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association in early statehood. The Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association’s primary goal is to support the efforts of Oklahoma’s 77 Sheriffs. The OSA is a non-profit association registered with the Oklahoma Secretary of State as a 501 (c)(3) corporation under Internal Revenue Service (IRS) rules. The association has five classifications of membership: Active, Associate, Honorary, Business and Corporate.
In its efforts to solicit memberships, the OSA does not utilize any telemarketing. If you should receive a phone call from an organization representing the OSA, contact your local Sheriff or the OSA. Furthermore, we respect the privacy of our members and we do not sell, rent or exchange our membership list.
Members are comprised of Sheriffs and Deputies which retired from their duties while still active in law enforcement and are drawing a retirement from the county in which they worked.
Honorary members are citizens who choose to support the OSA through financial contributions. The OSA receives the majority of its annual support from our citizens in all areas of Oklahoma participating in the Honorary Membership program. Through the support of the Honorary members’ contributions, the OSA is able to provide training, grant writing assistance, crime prevention programs, county government assistance and support on legislative issues to all of the Sheriffs across the state.
Honorary Members are citizens who choose to support the OSA through financial contributions. As Honorary Members they receive a window decal, membership card, and optional license plate.
Your financial contributions are used to benefit your local Sheriff and the other 76 Sheriffs across the state. Training Opportunities, Grant Writing Assistance, Crime Prevention Programs, and Highway Safety Programs are just a few of the many programs that are provided through your donation.
Associate members consist of individuals actively engaged in law enforcement, the legal process, or provides services to the law enforcement or legal community. This membership is extended to all County Trust Facilities in Oklahoma. These trust facilities are assessed dues at 1/2 of the Sheriffs dues for that county. The Associate members will be non voting members of the corporation and the application will be approved by the Board of Directors.
The Oklahoma Sheriffs’ Association is grateful for the generous contributions of our Corporate Sponsors.
Your financial contributions are used to benefit all 77 Sheriffs across the state. Training Opportunities, Grant Writing Assistance, Crime Prevention Programs, legislative updates, assistance with legal research and resources are just a few of the many programs that are provided through your donation.
