Association Leadership

Structure and Function

The Multnomah County Deputy Sheriff's Association was formed in 1979 to represent the Law Enforcement Deputies in all criminal and administrative proceedings, as well as advocate for them during contract negotiations. Currently, the MCDSA represents approximately 120 Law Enforcement Deputies and Sergeants employed by the Multnomah County Sheriff's Office.

The MCDSA consists of the general membership, three officers, and six executive board members who are all Deputies and Sergeants in good standing within our association.
