“Welcome to the Maine Sheriff’s Association website. Maine Sheriff’s have remained the county’s chief law enforcement officials since 1878. The Citizens that we serve and protect elect the Sheriffs in Maine’s 16 counties. Sheriffs are the only law enforcement officials in the state who answer directly to the people. This website is another tool to help us work together to improve the quality of life for the citizens that we serve. Just click on any of the links to access more information pertaining to law enforcement in the State of Maine."  Sheriff Todd Brackett, President, Maine Sheriffs' Association

 The Maine Sheriffs’ Association is a nonprofit association with a membership consisting of the sheriff, chief deputy, jail administrator, and patrol supervisor from each county as well as other interested members of Maine’s sheriffs’ offices, other law enforcement agencies, and the public. It is dedicated to raising the level of professionalism in the criminal justice field and facilitating the level of communication between Maine’s sheriff offices and its citizens.
