Membership & Sponsorship

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.



Active members are comprised of Sheriffs and staff throughout the state. As voting members, our active membership helps direct the activities and efforts of the OSA by electing its governing body and voting on important issues at the Annual Conference.

Membership dues are paid in January of each year. Dues are based on county population and include payment for the Sheriff, Undersheriff, Deputy, Jail Administrator, Detention Officers, Reserve Deputy, Chaplains, and Clerical Support. Invoices for Active Memberships are mailed from the OSA office in December of the previous year and are due by January 31st.
