To Serve and Protect
The New Hampshire Sheriff's Association is a statewide organization of 10 elected Sheriffs. Through the Association, the Sheriffs work to strengthen the professional law enforcement services their offices provide to the people of New Hampshire.
New Hampshire Sheriffs' authority comes from Part #2 Article 71 of the NH State Constitution and NH RSA 104:6. The Belknap, Carroll, Cheshire, Grafton, Hillsborough, Merrimack, Strafford, & Sullivan County Sheriffs are elected every 2 years. Coos & Rockingham County Sheriffs are elected every 4 years. The Sheriffs are the chief law enforcement officers in their county.
We encourage you to learn more about the top elected law-enforcement official in your county and how you can support the work of your local sheriff's offices.
