Chester County Sheriff Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh.<\/p><\/div>\n

WEST CHESTER \u2014 Chester County Sheriff, Carolyn “Bunny” Welsh has been selected by the National Sheriff\u2019s Association to mentor a class of newly elected sheriffs at the National Sheriff\u2019s Institute in Longmont Colorado.<\/p>\n

Welsh will spend one week at the National Institute of Corrections with a class of 30 sheriffs from across the nation. The National Sheriff\u2019s Association will provide transportation costs and all accommodations for Welsh while she is in Colorado.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is truly an honor to have been selected by the NSA to have a part in this very significant training for new sheriffs,” Welsh said.\u00a0“I have received the student roster and there will be sheriffs from 24 different states in attendance. It is very exciting.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welsh graduated from the National Sheriff\u2019s Institute in 2000 during her first year as Chester County Sheriff. She was elected class president of the 79th session.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis training is essential for each newly elected sheriff,” she said. “While the duties of the sheriff vary state by state, and even county by county, there are many issues and challenges which are common. It does not matter if you have six deputies like some small counties, or 9,000 deputies like Los Angeles, there is a lot in common. It is just a matter of scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welsh has served for four years on the board of Directors of the National Sheriff\u2019s Association which is headquartered in Arlington, Va. She is also a past president of the Pennsylvania Sheriff\u2019s Association.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more than 3,000 elected sheriffs in the country,” she said. “The honorable Office of the Sheriff has a long and proud history. Sheriffs in every county are elected by the people and serve the people. It is an awesome responsibility and an honor to serve. It is a great privilege to work with new sheriffs across the nation as they begin to serve their counties and their citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
