Our Mission
The New York State Sheriffs’ Institute (NYSSI) bridges community and law enforcement by fostering positive relationships with our state’s youth, supporting crime victims, and providing the latest training and education to officers, to help keep people safe.
NYSSI is a not-for-profit organization that was formed in 1979. It is made up of all the Sheriffs of New York State and supported by donations, grants, and honorary memberships to maintain its programs. This commitment extends to statewide efforts, as a part of the Institute. Core initiatives include: New York State Sheriffs’ Summer Camp, Crime Victim Notification Systems, and Education & Training efforts. When you become an Honorary Member of the NYS Sheriffs’ Institute you tell your Sheriff that you support these initiatives as well.
