What Alabama Sheriffs Association does

The Alabama Sheriffs Association (ASA) is a private nonprofit professional association headquartered at 514 Washington Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama, that represents the elected sheriffs of all 67 Alabama counties. The Association's functional remit covers training and professional development (including the 2026 Summer Conference, Sheriff's Clerks & Admin Training, and Jail Management Training), legislative advocacy centered on the 2026 Legislative Session, statewide coordination through a sheriff directory and district directors, administrative services such as pistol permit processing for member offices, and member-benefit programs delivered through an affiliated foundation (the Alabama Sheriffs Foundation) covering scholarships and license plate support.

The Association's technology footprint is a website (alabamasheriffs.com) and a dedicated mobile application (The Sheriff App), both built and hosted by a core technology partner, OCV, LLC, which is co-listed with the Association in the 2026 copyright notice. The digital platform functions as an informational portal and member-services hub rather than a modular software product; it surfaces sheriff directory listings, training opportunities, conferences, code of ethics, memorial wall, news, and corporate partner information. There is no disclosed AI/ML capability, API, or SDK; technology is positioned as a communications and administrative layer.

Revenue is generated through three streams: membership fees paid by county sheriff's departments and personnel (subscription recurring), corporate partnerships structured in tiers including Platinum Corporate Partners and Revenue Sharing Partners (affiliate/referral-style revenue), and pistol permit processing fees routed through sheriff's offices statewide (transaction fee). Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The Association operates with a 1-10 employee headcount, partners with vendors such as W.L. Petrey Wholesale Co. Inc., and is governed independently as a nonprofit association with no parent company or external private equity ownership indicated in the available information.
