About Us

serving and protecting idaho’s citizens and visitors

The Idaho Sheriffs’ Association represents Idaho’s elected sheriffs from each of Idaho’s 44 counties. As an association we promote the office of sheriff and seek to collectively serve Idaho’s citizens well. ISA is an executive level professional association that provides educational, legislative, and organizing benefits to the sheriffs. Every Sheriff in Idaho takes the Oath of Office to support the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of Idaho enacted in 1890.

Our Priorities

  • Ensuring Idaho’s citizens and their property are protected
  • Creating peaceful communities where people can conduct their lives without fear.
  • Preserving a place where people and businesses can prosper
