Two Campbell County elected officials are leading their statewide associations.
Campbell County Sheriff Mike Jansen was sworn in as this year’s president of the Kentucky Sheriff’s Association (KSA), while Campbell County Jailer James Daley continues to serve as president of the Kentucky Jailers Association (KJA).
Jansen is a 40-year veteran of law enforcement and was reelected without opposition to a second term in office in November. Prior to being elected, Jansen served as a police officer with the cities of Newport, Erlanger, and Fort Thomas, as well as with the Campbell County Police Department. He also worked as a detective for the Campbell County Commonwealth Attorney’s office.
The KSA works closely with Kentucky state legislators and officials in Frankfort to craft legislation and policies that assist sheriffs in serving and protecting the citizens of their counties. KSA also operates the Boys and Girls Ranch, a western Kentucky nonprofit that is dedicated to redirecting the lives of children by building their self-esteem and moral character while providing a summer of fun and safe activities.Â
Daley is an attorney and former Kentucky State Trooper who also directed the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike Force. He has served in office since 2013 when Judge-executive Pendery appointed him following the resignation of the incumbent jailer.
The KJA serves the training, legislative, and support needs of Kentucky Jailers.
