FSA Today

     The Florida Sheriffs Association today may be very different than the organization that existed in the early part of the century, but it's just as effective.

FSA means training.
      Our association sponsors and provides a variety of management and technical assistance services. We also host special conferences and training seminars throughout the year for both certified and non-certified personnel. Training seminars deal with topics including domestic violence, drug enforcement, administrative management, budget, and other law enforcement and correctional management training.

FSA means Task Forces.
     Several of FSA's special task forces have gained nationwide recognition, including Operation Drug Enforcement, Operation Medicine Cabinet, and the crackdown on Deadbeat Parents. FSA's Hurricane Task Force coordinates efforts of all Sheriffs' offices in responding to the storm-ravaged communities during hurricanes and other catastrophic disasters.

FSA means legislative and legal services.
     We advocate and promote policy changes in the Legislature that will benefit public safety and the overall interests of law enforcement. In that important role, we provide a strong voice for citizens and victims. We also have two staff attorneys who handle Sheriffs' legal questions about all aspects of a Sheriffs office. They research and advise Sheriffs on matters including personnel, administrative and liability concerns.

FSA means early intervention.
     FSA founded the Florida Sheriffs Boys Ranch in 1957. That evolved into the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches, Inc., an example of our commitment to preventing juvenile crime and delinquency by guiding youngsters to productive lives as law-abiding citizens. The Youth Ranches operate four residential child-care campuses and two camping programs. And, the Ranches provide community-based services; intensive family counseling; family life education; targeted case management; therapeutic camping; foster care; and other delinquency prevention programs to as many of Florida's troubled and neglected children as funds permit. To date, more than 30,000 youths have been served.

FSA means awards, networking, fleet management, and more.
     We recognize exemplary performance in law enforcement and law-making at our bi-annual conferences. These sessions provide an opportunity for Sheriffs to share their successes, and learn from their peers. FSA has also started a highly-successful fleet management program that provides each agency with significant buying power and savings on official agency vehicles - a direct benefit and effective cost savings to local taxpayers.
