Small Rural Law Enforcement Executives Association

The Small & Rural Law Enforcement Executives Association (SRLEEA) is a non-profit organization based in Belle Haven, Virginia. As a 501(c)(3) entity, SRLEEA is dedicated to supporting and promoting law enforcement executives and agencies that serve small, rural, and tribal communities across the United States. SRLEEA provides resources and support specifically tailored to the unique challenges faced by small, rural, and tribal law enforcement agencies. They define "small" as agencies with 100 or fewer sworn employees, "rural" as agencies serving communities with less than 200 people per square mile, and "tribal" as federally recognized agencies serving indigenous communities. Their programs cover a wide range of disciplines within the criminal justice system and they actively participate in shaping legislative and public policy initiatives that impact these communities. The organization emphasizes the importance of collaboration and encourages agencies to maintain their memberships in state and national law enforcement associations. SRLEEA's work is driven by innovative leadership and carried out through various committees and partnerships with government agencies, departmental organizations, and other non-profit associations.
