Association Annual Awards Banquet 2008
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I like to thank everyone who attended this year’s Association Annual Awards Banquet which was held on Dec. 5th. I know the officers who received this year’s awards were happy to see all the support their peers gave them. I wish every member of the Association could attend but I understand that our jails need to be staffed and our communities need protecting. That is way I would also like to thank all of those officers who could not attend, for their continue support of the Association and what it is trying to accomplish.
This year’s Banquet also marked our 30th anniversary as an Association. The Association board was proud to recognize the first members of the Association as well as the class of 1988 for their 20 years of service in the Sheriff’s office and members of the El Paso County Sheriff’s Officers Association. The Association also recognizes the civilians that have worked for 20 years or more that have work for the Sheriff’s Department. They have provided the support behind the scenes for 20 years. It was also nice to see the retirees come back and be honored by the Association for their long years of service in the Sheriff’s office and membership in the Association.
I wish every member of the Association a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May God keep all members and their families in good health and safe in 2009.

Several Issues
Dear Members;
The Association Board is currently addressing several issues and concerns that you have brought up to the board’s attention. Another year is coming to an end. As we look ahead for new leadership, I feel confident that the Association and its members are ready for any changes that will come when the new administration takes office in January. The new Sheriff will bring positive as well negative change depending on your views. The Association must continue and will continue to work hard to assure that our members/officers receive the best working and living conditions they deserve. But the Association board cannot do it by itself, we need your help. The Association has only had a quorum 3 out of the past 4 months. The average attendance at the general membership meetings is about 29 members including the board. There are 800 members in the Association; all members should be able to attend at least one or two meetings a year.
The Board’s goal for next year is to increase attendance to the general membership meeting. The board is committed to representing all members in their fight to achieve respect and gain recognition for their hard work in the Sheriff’s Office. Remember this is YOUR Association, be part of the decision making. Attend the next General membership meeting.
