Dear Public Safety Professional,

The National Black Sheriffs’ Association (NBSA) invites you to join a growing network committed to strengthening leadership and developing solutions to the challenges faced by our sheriffs and the communities we serve.

Why Join NBSA?

Many of the problems we face in law enforcement today are not new—staffing shortages, aging detention facilities, limited resources, community trust, officer development, and rapidly changing technology. What must change is how we prepare the next generation to address them. The problems and solutions we face today are not new, but it will take the youth of today to develop the solutions for tomorrow.

That is why NBSA places particular emphasis on developing junior- and mid-level officers and creating opportunities for emerging leaders to learn from experienced sheriffs, and public-safety professionals.
