Jail Administrator Conference & Expo 2027

This conference is an annual event organized by the Missouri Sheriffs United, a sister corporation to the Missouri Sheriffs' Association, targeting professionals in law enforcement and administration who manage jail operations. Attendees can expect to gain critical insights, learn from industry experts, and connect with peers to address evolving policies, operational efficiencies, and the well-being of both staff and inmates in correctional facilities. Based on previous iterations of this conference, key focus areas are anticipated to include new legislation and lobbyist action, reentry programs and grants, inmate rights (policy vs. procedure), booking and intake strategies, the role of technology for efficiency in jails, prevention and response to in-custody deaths, duties of a Jail Administrator, and medical protocols and jail standards. The agenda typically includes training sessions, a business meeting, a vendor hall, an awards luncheon, roundtable discussions, and a golf tournament.
