2022 New Sheriff Training

NEW KENTUCKY SHERIFFS IN 2023

Every four years after an election, our annual conference moves from its regular time in September to December. This allows the Kentucky Sheriffs Association (KSA), Kentucky Association of Counties (KACo) and the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) to train all new sheriffs on their new duties and responsibilities. Although when running for office, candidates are familiar with the elected position they are seeking, it is the job of the KSA to clarify all aspects of the job before they are sworn into office. For 2023, there are 37 newly elected Sheriffs out of the 120 counties in Kentucky.
