Even Sheriffs Need A Helping Hand
Join the California State Sheriffs’ Association Foundation (CSSAF) Today

Individuals and Business who want to take a proactive approach to support public safety in their communities may join the California State Sheriffs’ Association (CSSA) through CSSA’s tax-exempt charitable foundation the California Sheriffs’ Sheriffs’ Association Foundation (CSSAF). Your dues and contributions are tax deductible (Fed ID# 59-3813461).

The serious issues that face our local Sheriffs can’t wait. As criminals become more sophisticated, technologically advanced, and better armed, the job of a peace officer becomes even more difficult and dangerous. Your membership and ongoing support for Sheriffs and their staff becomes that much more important and meaningful.

The California State Sheriffs' Association is a nonprofit professional law enforcement organization that represents the 58 elected Sheriffs of California. CSSA has served as a unified effective voice on matters of public safety for over 100 years. The Association was formed with the purpose of sharing resources, information and providing assistance to Sheriffs and departmental personnel, thus enabling them to improve the delivery of law enforcement services to the citizens of this State. CSSA also functions as a legislative watchdog for sheriffs and their personnel on law enforcement and public safety issues.

Every sheriff works diligently with their fellow sheriffs through CSSA/CSSAF to improve the profession and to elevate law enforcement services through cooperation with other law enforcement agencies.

CSSAF acts as a voice for all 58 County Sheriffs.
