Meet Our Leadership Team

Douglas County Sheriff’s Council is a non-profit service organization founded by a few concerned community volunteers in 2004. We are dedicated to supporting the Sheriffs Office by obtaining grants and private donation for essential technology, equipment and professional education not afforded in the general budget.

Our leadership consists of a Board of Trustees which meets monthly. The Board consists of four leadership positions — Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer — and sixteen additional Trustees, each of whom serves on various committees and projects.

Ad-hoc Committes

An ad-hoc committee may be designated for a specific task as defined by the Chair and is disbanded upon the conclusion of the project. An example is a committee established for the nomination and election of Council officers or recruitment of new members. Because of their temporary and fluid nature, these task forces do not appear on the Council’s organization chart.
