SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH – Kane County Sheriff Tracy Glover was elected and sworn in as president of the Western States Sheriffs’ Association during the organization’s conference this month, while continuing to serve as president of the Utah Sheriffs Association.
Glover’s dual leadership role positions him to help strengthen coordination among sheriff’s offices in Utah and across the western United States. The Western States Sheriffs’ Association represents nearly 1,300 sheriff’s offices across 19 states and focuses on collaboration and information sharing on public safety issues.
“Sheriff Glover has demonstrated proven leadership while serving on the WSSA executive board for the past 5 years,” said Dave Brown, executive director of the Western States Sheriffs’ Association. “As President, we look forward to having his knowledge and energy leading us for the next year and beyond. Sheriff Glover has served as chairman of the WSSA Government Affairs and Public Lands Committee and his leadership on the committee has been critical in warding off various incursions by federal public land managers and federal law enforcement agencies across the vast expanse of the West.”
As president of both organizations, Glover will help advance collaboration on issues including public safety coordination, emergency response, training and emerging law enforcement challenges across the West, where sheriffs’ offices serve large geographic areas and work across multiple agencies and jurisdictions.
“It is an honor to serve in these roles alongside dedicated sheriffs from across Utah and the western United States,” said Sheriff Glover. “Our strength is in our collaboration. By working together, we can tackle complex challenges, elevate our agencies, and ensure our communities receive the highest standard of public safety.”
“The Utah Sheriffs Association is proud to support Sheriff Glover in this dual leadership role and recognizes the significant impact his service will have in strengthening public safety efforts across Utah and the western United States,” said Scott Burns, executive director of the Utah Sheriffs Association.
