Become a "Partner
Against Crime"Contact our membership section at
membership@flsheriffs.orgFlorida residents who want to take a proactive approach in the fight against crime may join the Florida Sheriffs Association as an Honorary Member for just $25 annually.
In addition to being counted as an active supporter of law enforcement in Florida, member benefits include:
Information you won't get anywhere else. You'll receive six issues of The Sheriff's Star magazine -- an inside edition on law enforcement. The Sheriff's Star spotlights trends in crime, law enforcement techniques and offers readers important crime prevention tips.
The Rancher. Each quarter, you'll hear about what's happening inside the Florida Sheriffs Youth Ranches. The Florida Sheriffs Association is both founder and an active partner in the Youth Ranches, which focus on the prevention of juvenile delinquency through its residential child care programs, camping facilities, and community based services.
You'll also receive an honorary member identification card, shield and bumper sticker to show you're a supporter of law enforcement in your area.
Law enforcement members receive all of the benefits above, plus many insurance benefits and quarterly issues of The All Points Bulletin. This "trade journal" is intended to inform its readers about new and improved police techniques, and keep them informed about some of the specialized projects and programs being implemented within other sheriff's offices in the state and nation.
Business memberships are also available at the levels of $50 annually (BRONZE), $250 annually (SILVER), $500 annually (GOLD).
If you are not already a member and are interested in joining the Florida Sheriffs Association, you can pick up an FSA membership brochure at your County Sheriff's Office. Or, you can join now by filling out our online membership application.
The National Charities Information Bureau recommends that at least 60% of a group's annual budget should go to the purpose for which the money was raised. The Florida Sheriff's Association's track record far exceeds that minimum. More than 80% of FSA's annual revenue goes right into programs that enhance law enforcement in all counties throughout the state, including (name of County) County. FSA does not employ telemarketers or professional fund raisers and welcomes the scrutiny of all Florida citizens on financial matters.
