The Sheriff's Advisory Board is a non-profit volunteer organization for the purpose of supporting local law enforcement. Since public safety agencies must compete for scarce tax dollars with other public entities in government, funding is not always available no matter how necessary or worthy a particular request might be. It is on these occasions that the Advisory Board renders vital assistance.
