In 2011, Sheriff Jim Hammond created the Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating partnerships between local business and law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Law Enforcement Foundation provides pertinent training and state-of-the-art technology to local officers.
On November 7th, the foundation is having a luncheon at the Chattanoogan Hotel to provide the public with information about the organization, as well as presenting speaker Mark Kroeker, former chief of police in Portland, Oregon.
At the luncheon, the Sheriff's Law Enforcement Foundation will unveil a new logo and name for the organization.
