Oconee Co. Sheriff informing Citizens about SC Sheriff’s Association Honorary Membership Mailings 

Oconee County Sheriff Mike Crenshaw would like to inform citizens that the SC Sheriff’s Association recently started their annual spring Honorary Membership mailings, and this is not a scam. There are four different types of mailings that are sent out by the Sheriff’s Office Association each year, including Membership Renewals, New Member Acquisitions, Special Appeals and Newsletters. The Honorary Membership Program allows citizens to become Honorary Members of the Sheriff’s Association as an Honorary Individual, Family or Business Member. The SCSA program is a direct mail campaign that consists of several mailings over the year that are sent to citizens across the entire state of South Carolina. The SC Sheriff’s Association does not use telemarketers to solicit for contributions but does solicit donations via direct mail throughout the year. The letters that are sent out are normally signed by either by the current director of the South Carolina Sheriff’s Association or the Sheriff who is the current President of the Association. The money raised through the Sheriff’s Association is used for Critical Training and Education Programs, Research and Assistance in regards to researching various issues that the 46 Sheriff’s throughout South Carolina are facing as well as Legislative Advocacy with the South Carolina General Assembly for stronger laws and the rights of victims of crime and witnesses who assist in prosecuting criminals.
