At the National Sheriffs Association’s annual conference in Oklahoma City this week, Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes was elected to the board of directors.
Chartered in 1940, the National Sheriffs’ Association is a professional association dedicated to serving the Office of Sheriff and its affiliates through law enforcement education and training, and through the provision of general law enforcement informational resources. The Board of Directors annually reviews the Association’s progress and outlines the law enforcement policies that guide the Association’s activities.
Rhodes currently serves as the president of the Arizona Sheriffs Association. He said, “I am proud have been elected to the NSA Board of Directors. This is a position voted on by my fellow Sheriffs around the county,” said Sheriff Rhodes. “I am honored to represent them and thank them for their confidence in me.”
The Sheriffs’ support of Rhodes was based on his experience with border security and his commitment to addressing opioid epidemic related issues.
Sheriff Rhodes is only the second Yavapai County Sheriff to serve on the NSA Board.
