Sheriff Gobble Takes Committee Post with Sheriff's Association

Bradley County Sheriff Tim Gobble was recently appointed to the Legislative Committee of the Tennessee Sheriff’s Association for 2007-2008. The committee is made up of sheriff’s from across the state who evaluate law enforcement bills that are to be considered by the General Assembly and then determine those in the best interest of T-S-A to support.

The Tennessee Sheriff’s Association, a non-profit organization chartered in 1971, is dedicated to improve county law enforcement. It’s mission is to promote effective law enforcement, high standards of ethical conduct, better communication and cooperation among law enforcement jurisdictions, improved efficiency, and the exchange of knowledge and experience among sheriff’s.

Since his election just over a year ago Sheriff Gobble has supported T-S-A’s mission and their contributions to improve county law enforcement.

He takes a great deal of pride being asked to serve.

"Since I became sheriff just over a year ago, I have been a strong supporter and advocate of the association’s mission. I believe their work in the legislative process is key to enacting laws that protect the welfare of law abiding citizens of this great state. I am honored to accept this appointment," he said.

The committee will meet periodically to review hundreds of bills that are filed for the 105^th General  Assembly when it reconvenes on January 8,  2008.
