IMPROVING MEMBER’S
WORKING CONDITIONS AND PUBLIC SAFETY
DSAM is a registered not-for-profit corporation, founded in 1978. DSAM is a bi-partisan legislative lobbying
and training organization dedicated to improving the professional careers and
working conditions of our members. We
have successfully monitored legislation to ensure only quality law enforcement
and corrections legislation is passed, making Michigan
a safer place to live, and making sheriff’s departments a better place to
work. DSAM is not a labor organization
that engages in the collective bargaining process.

POLITICAL ACTION ADVOCACY:
Every year, the DSAM Executive Board approves a wide ranging
legislative agenda. To achieve results
in Lansing, DSAM employs the
services of the premier lobbying firm in the state, Governmental Consultant
Services Incorporated (GCSI). In
addition to DSAM's legislative agenda, GCSI lobbyists scrutinize daily all
proposed bills and resolutions introduced in the Legislature to measure their
impact on DSAM members.
In collaboration with their clients, GCSI has established a
powerful Political Action Committee (PAC) network that contributes an
unparalleled amount each election cycle to various elected incumbents and those
who aspire to state elected offices. Such financial support augments our
ability to access leaders in state government and immediately makes DSAM
relevant in the political process.
DSAM endorses candidates for state offices. With the
assistance of GCSI, DSAM has established an average endorsement success rate of
95%.
Year after year, GCSI is named "Lansing's
most effective multi-client lobbying firm" in an annual poll of Lansing
insiders conducted by EPIC/MRA.
Every day of your life, a local, state, or
federal politician is casting a vote that will affect your future.

LEGISLATIVE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS & MEMBERSHIP ADVOCACY
The demands on the law enforcement community continue to
grow while chronic state and local budget deficits continue to reduce our
resources. DSAM knows the process, knows
how to open doors, and most importantly knows how to get results. Here is a comprehensive list of our past
achievements:
