Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association was incorporated in its current
form in 1991although the OSA in one form or another has been
in existence since statehood. Newspaper accounts as early as
1910 revealed sheriffs gathered to pass a resolution
denouncing the fee and salary act passed by the last session
of the 1910 legislature.
The
mission of the OSA is to maintain the Office of the Sheriff
through training and education; developing laws and polices
that promote public safety and; providing technical and
informational support to assist the Sheriffs of Oklahoma in
providing effective and quality law enforcement services to
the citizens of the State of Oklahoma.
