The Louisiana Sheriffs’ Honorary Membership Program was established in 1988 in order to build better bonds between concerned citizens, local businesses, elected Sheriffs, and the communities they serve.
Currently all 64 sheriffs participate in the program, which is supported by over 49,000 private citizens who have chosen to demonstrate their support for good law enforcement by joining forces with their local sheriffs and becoming members of the program.
Memberships are: individual, $20; family, $35; and business membership, $35.
