The Sheriffs of Tennessee are strong
supporters of the 2nd Amendment rights
of their citizens and have taken an oath
to uphold the Constitution of the State
of Tennessee, the Constitution of the
United States of America, and the laws
and ordinances of their counties and
will fulfill that oath. The Tennessee
Sheriffs’ Association and the Tennessee
Firearms Association co-authored the
Tennessee Handgun Permit Law in May of
1994. |

President’s
Message to the Members
I want to take just
a moment and thank you for your support of the Tennessee
Sheriffs’ Association. Our members are a vital part of
this association. We could not be what we are, to so
many without you. Your involvement makes so many good
things possible to Tennesseans all across the state.
Our sheriffs receive law enforcement training,
education, and much needed information, in addition to
many Tennessee children receiving college expense
assistance. This is just a couple of the reasons we
exist, which is directly tied to you, our members.
Again thank you for
your involvement and dedication to us as an
association. The Tennessee Sheriffs will always be
dedicated and of service to you.
Thank You,
David K. Andrews
President

Sheriff Jeff Long,
Outgoing President, Sheriff Ron “Hoss” Seals,
Sheriff of the Year, and Sheriff David Andrews,
Incoming President. |
Sevier County Sheriff Ron Seals was
named Sheriff of the Year for Tennessee during the 41st
annual conference of the Tennessee Sheriffs'
Association. The conference was held July 23-27 at the
Wilderness at the Smokies resort in Sevierville. “It was
a complete surprise to me,” he said. “I never dreamt or
never thought I’d be Sheriff of the Year.”
“Hoss got the SOY Award for a number of reasons,” Ashe (TSA
Executive Director) said. “This past year, he’s
taken an active role in our corrections committee (and)
made numerous trips to Nashville to help rewrite the
corrections standards for the state of Tennessee as far
as jails are concerned. His contributions were
enormous.”
“After being with the department almost four decades,
this is a culmination of my career in law enforcement to
receive this highest honor you can get as a sheriff in
Tennessee,” he said.
