LAGRANGE COUNTY - Sheriff Jeff Campos announced that LaGrange County citizens who would like to join in the fight against crime are invited to become members of the Indiana Sheriffs' Association.

The membership program was instituted to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support of crime prevention and awareness programs, promote public safety, provide more and improved training for Sheriffs and their personnel plus support the Summer Youth Leadership Camps and College Scholarships for teenagers interested in law enforcement that are provided by the association.

LaGrange County residents should soon receive membership applications in the mail. If you don't receive an application by mail, you can call or stop by the Sheriff's Office to obtain one or visit the Indiana Sheriffs' Association website at www.indianasheriffs.org to join. All members will receive a membership card, two star decals and releases of the newsletter.

The letter of invitation sent to citizens is the only manner or way used to invite citizens to become members of the Association. He stated that NO telephone solicitation or other methods are used to solicit members as are currently being used by some organizations. Campos stated, “Your joining of the Indiana Sheriffs’ Association will be welcomed as an expression of your support of our Association and its many worthwhile programs.”
