The County Sheriffs of Pennsylvania work for all the citizens of this Commonwealth.

One of the most important roles that a Sheriff in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania fulfills is to make certain that our citizens can exercise their right to vote without fear or favor, threats, intimidation, or violence.

The members of the Pennsylvania Sheriff’s Association will not condone any violence, either implied or carried out, that is targeted at an individual for their political beliefs, ideals and / or support of one candidate over another.

Part of the definition of democracy reads ‘government by the people,’ and rest assured that anyone who engages in violence against voters or seeks to illegally disenfranchise a voter, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
