Sheriffs desiring to enhance the
service provided to our citizens organized the Oklahoma
Sheriffs' Association in early statehood. The Oklahoma Sheriffs'
Association primary goal is to support the efforts of Oklahoma's 77
Sheriffs. The OSA is a non-profit association registered with the
Oklahoma Secretary of State as a 501 (c)(3) corporation under
Internal Revenue Service rules. The association has five
classifications of membership Active, Associate, Honorary,
Business, and Corporate. In its efforts to solicit memberships the OSA does not
utilize any telemarketing or outside fund raising companies. If you should receive a phone call from an
organization representing the OSA contact your local Sheriff or the
OSA. Furthermore we respect the privacy of our members and we do not
sell rent or exchange our membership list.
ACTIVE MEMBERSHIP
Active members are comprised of
Sheriffs and staff throughout the state. As voting members our
active membership helps direct the activities and efforts of the OSA
by electing its governing body and voting on important issues at the
Annual Conference. Membership dues are paid in January of each year.
Dues are based on county population and include payment for the
Sheriff, Undersheriff, Deputy, Jail Administrator, Detention
