South Dakota Sheriff sworn in as President of National Sheriff’s Association
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – A Moody County Sheriff was recently sworn in as President of the National Sheriffs’ Association for the 2026-2027 term.
Sheriff Troy Wellman will become the leader of the U.S.’s largest organization that represents sheriffs and sheriff’s offices from across the country.
“Coming from a small rural county, you learn quickly that relationships matter,” said Wellman. “Sheriffs across this country face many of the same challenges regardless of agency size, and I want to ensure every sheriff’s office has a seat at the table and a voice in the future of our profession.”
Wellman previously served on the NSA Executive Committee and served as President of the South Dakota Sheriffs’ Association.
As President, Wellman will spend the next year working alongside sheriffs and public safety leaders from across the country.
