ABOUT THE NIAGARA COUNTY DEPUTY SHERIFF'S
ASSOCIATION
Like so many of the great philanthropic
organizations in history, the main precept of the Niagara County Deputy
Sheriff's Association (NCDSA) is giving back to the community that has
done so much for us. The roots of the NCDSA, which presently has around
130 members in its corrections and dispatch divisions, reach back at
least a half a century.
"We've always been active with
community activities throughout our history," states President Jeff
Newman, "We especially try to focus on youth oriented programs."
The list of organizations
the Niagara County Deputy Sheriff's Association donates to includes-
Lockport Little League, Anjo League, Kidspeace, the DARE program,
Children's Hospital, the United Way and the Diabetes Association.
The NCDSA also sponsors a golf camp for kids at the Adelphia Sports
Complex in which 250 kids per year are able to participate. |

In addition to monetary
donations, members of the NCDSA have volunteered their time at many
community events sponsored by other organizations, such as fund raising
events for Multiple Sclerosis and Cystic Fibrosis, the annual Heart Walk
sponsored by the American Heart Association and the United Ways "Days of
Caring" where 15 - 20 representatives of the NCDSA go out and spend a
day working to beautify a community.
The NCDSA also carries on
several programs and committees, such as: Executive Committee,
Political Action Committee, Finance Committee, ByLaw Committee,
Negotiation Committee, and Union Stewards.
The NCDSA also donated funds
for the purchase of a memorial monument to honor and commemorate fallen
Niagara County Deputy Sheriffs and law enforcement officers across the
country. The NCDSA also sponsors
three 1000.00 scholarships a year for students who wish to study in the
field of Criminal Justice.
