Jonathan Thompson

Jonathan Thompson is the executive director and CEO of the National Sheriff’s Association, an organization representing the interests of sheriffs across the United States. Recently, he was in the news expressing concerns about the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) recruitment drive, particularly criticizing the agency's decision to lift the age cap for new applicants and offer substantial bonuses, which he believes may negatively impact local law enforcement agencies already facing staffing challenges.
