Local sheriff Sheriff Thomas G. Snider has announced that Elkhart County citizens who would like to join him in the fight against crime are invited to become members of the Indiana Sheriffs Association. Many local citizens and several businesses have already joined the association in support of its efforts. The Indiana Sheriffs Association is a non-profit, professional, educational and service organization, dedicated to improving the criminal justice system through education, training, service and the protection of the lives and property of the citizens of Indiana, according to Snider. The membership program was instituted to provide citizens with an opportunity to lend their support of crime prevention and awareness programs, promote public safety, provide more and improved training for sheriffs and their personnel, and to support the summer career camps and college scholarships for teenagers who are interested in law enforcement, provided by the association. “We are inviting the public to help us better serve them by joining our efforts to provide effective law enforcement,” Snider said. All members will receive a membership card, two star decals, $3,000 accidental death benefit and a year’s subscription to the publication, “The Indiana Sheriff.” Snider stated that the letter of
