I am continually proud of and inspired by the work of this organization in supporting Florida deputies and their families. While that work is ongoing, here are a few key highlights.

The Florida Deputy Sheriffs Association is once again leading the way to provide the very best training and support to our members as well as the other brave deputies and officers who can benefit from these opportunities.

It is in times like these that I am especially thankful that FDSA can support our deputies and sheriff’s office employees through direct and immediate assistance and through programs such as the Lend a Hand Fund, developed to help law enforcement personnel in their greatest time of need.

On October 18, 2024, FDSA President Sheriff Billy Woods joined Governor Ron DeSantis and Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister to accept a $100,000 donation from Florida’s Disaster Fund.

It was great to provide positive news about the continued progress and growth of the Florida Deputy Sheriffs Association at the recent FSA Sheriffs Summer Conference, including our largest budget to date of $2.3 million.

The year was 2009. Barack Obama was inaugurated. The first Android phone was released. Bitcoin was introduced and Avatar was the winner at the box office. It was also the year that the Florida Deputy Sheriffs Association was launched with the goal of providing needed services to the brave men and women who serve their communities through our 67 sheriffs’ offices.
