Nevada County proudly announces its very own Sheriff Shannan Moon's recent appointment as the Secretary of the California State Sheriff’s Association (CSSA) for the 2025/2026 term. The CSSA is a venerable institution, upholding the tradition of partnership among law enforcement agencies across California. Sheriff Moon's elevation to this role comes on the heels of her tenure as both treasurer and sergeant-at-arms within the same association.
According to a social media post by the Nevada County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Moon was sworn in at the CSSA’s 131th Annual Conference Installation Banquet held earlier this summer in Placer County. All 58 sheriffs across California, including Sheriff Moon, aim to enhance the efficacy of law enforcement by fostering strong relationships at the state level, which is a principal objective of the CSSA. The association works closely with the governor, attorney general, state legislature, and other state officials to communicate the needs and requirements for proficient law enforcement.
The Nevada County Sheriff's Office extended their congratulations to Sheriff Moon and expressed gratitude for her leadership and continued advocacy for both Nevada County and the broader northern California region. The role of the CSSA's secretary is deemed critical in shaping policies and bridges a gap between the sheriffs' departments and state agencies to ensure resources are allocated appropriately for the benefit of the community.
At the conference, a select group of sheriffs was present for a photograph that reflected the collective leadership at the helm of California's law enforcement. The lineup included individuals such as Sheriff Jim Cooper of Sacramento County, Sheriff Ian Parkinson of San Luis Obispo County, Sheriff Brandon Barnes of Sutter County, Sheriff Chad Bianco of Riverside County, and Sheriff Don Barnes of Orange County. A follow-up photo highlighted the influential women leading law enforcement, showcasing, Sheriff Stephanie Rennie of Inyo County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Rachelle Whiting of Calaveras County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Tina Neito of Monterey County Sheriff's Office, Sheriff Moon, Sheriff Kelly Martinez of San Diego County Sheriff's Office, and Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez of Alameda County Sheriff's Office.
