Sheriff Announces NYS Sheriff's Association Institute Fund Raiser
March 21, 2008
Columbia County Sheriff David W. Harrison, Jr. announces that the New York State Sheriff’s Association Institute
will begin its annual Honorary Membership drive in Columbia County within the next two weeks.
The New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute was established in 1979. It is a not-for-profit corporation, tax-
exempt organization and contributions to the Institute are tax deductible.
While the Sheriff’s Office is a unit of county government, many of the concerns of Sheriffs and law enforcement
agencies are best addressed on a statewide level. The Sheriffs’ Institute provides centralized training programs
and services for all Sheriffs’ Offices, where those programs and services would be unavailable or impractical on a
single county basis.
Each summer, the Sheriffs Institute sends disadvantaged children from Columbia County to summer camp. The
camp, which is celebrating its 32nd anniversary, has served nearly 16,000 boys and girls. The camp combines
summer recreation with programs designed to teach an understanding of, and respect for, our laws and the men
and women who enforce them. The strong camper to counselor ratio allows for individual attention and a real
emphasis on the development of self-esteem.
The flagship program of the Sheriffs’ Institute is the Sheriffs’ Summer Camp for economically challenged children.
The camp is located on Keuka Lake in the Finger Lakes Region and over 800 children from across New York
State attend each summer. The Sheriffs’ Institute pays the entire cost of the camp stay including the
transportation. The children attending for the most part don’t have an opportunity for a summer vacation or the
opportunity for a summer camp experience.
Financial support for many of the Sheriffs’ Institute programs comes from Honorary Membership dues. Invitations
for Honorary Membership are extended on a non-partisan basis and the invitees are selected at random. Any
persons interested in supporting the efforts of the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute by becoming an
Honorary Member should contact Sheriff Harrison if they do not receive an invitation in the mail.
The New York State Sheriffs’ Association Institute is registered with the New York State Attorney General’s
Charities Bureau
