Established in 1940, the NSA advocates for over 3,000 elected sheriffs and 22,000 members nationwide. Their mission includes addressing critical criminal justice and homeland security issues, symbolized by their badge embodying values of defense, protection, authority, peace, and eternity. The Neighborhood Watch program fosters citizen collaboration with law enforcement to deter crime.
In March 2023, the NSA intensified its call for congressional action against drug cartels, citing recent American fatalities in Mexico. Urging the U.S. Government to employ robust strategies against cartels like Sinaloa and Jalisco, the NSA emphasizes the dire need to curb drug production, smuggling, and sales on American streets.
Sheriff Jim Skinner, chair of the NSA Government Affairs Committee, underscored the urgency of combating cartels to safeguard families and communities. With drug-related deaths surpassing 107,000 in the past year, and significant drug seizures by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the scale of the crisis is evident.
Highlighting recent cartel-related murders, including the abduction and killing of Americans in Mexico, the NSA stresses the devastating impact of cartel violence on both sides of the border. Sheriffs implore elected officials to utilize all available measures to confront cartel atrocities and protect American citizens.
During the recognition ceremony, Bergquam expressed gratitude for the honor, emphasizing the importance of holding Washington accountable.
