Community advisory board

The community advisory board provides direction to the sheriff's office on strategic planning and new initiatives.

Board members include community leaders and private citizens.

The board meets throughout the year to provide feedback.

The sheriff appoints members to the board.

Youth Community Advisory Board

Under Sheriff Witt, HCSO created a second community advisory board focused exclusively on youth issues.

Board members are all young people from Hennepin County high schools who meet to discuss the issues affecting them and their peers.

Like the primary community advisory board, Sheriff Witt appoints members, and the group meets regularly throughout the year. Young people who are interested in participating can apply.
