“ What’s New in County 22?”
I have received a couple calls about the ISSDA (Iowa State Sheriff’s and Deputies’ Association) Honorary membership mailings. This opportunity allows citizens of Clayton County to become Honorary Members and have an active role in helping make our community safer by providing resources to the Sheriffs of Iowa. The ISSDA normally does this in Clayton County, I believe, every three years.
Your membership dues help support schools, training, and education for Sheriffs, Deputies, Jailers, and full time Sheriff's employees, as well as a weeklong YMCA camp for kids and Iowa Special Olympics. We generally send two kids from Clayton County and take turns throughout the school districts in picking which kids with the help of the schools. The ISSDA also works with federal and state legislatures to create laws providing safer communities.
Your membership dues include a membership card, a bumper sticker, and a window decal as well as the Honorary Winter issue of The Gold Star Magazine. Business members will also receive a wall plaque. Your donations to the Iowa State Sheriffs & Deputies Association Institute are tax-deductible. If you would like to learn more about the ISSDA, please go to www.issda.org. Thank you for your support!
We are also taking applications for Jailer/Dispatcher at this time. If you have an interest in law enforcement this would be a good place to start. If you are interested, please stop at our office to pick up your application or visit claytoncountyiowasheriff.com.
If you have any questions, or comments, feel free to contact me anytime, e-mail me, or stop by to see me.
Thanks, and be safe,
Sheriff Mike Tschirgi
