Episode 1: FDSA Executive Director Keith Dean

In this episode, host John Creamer sits down with Keith Dean, executive director of the Florida Deputy Sheriffs Association, to explore the origins and future of FDSA. What began as an idea on a legal pad 16 years ago has grown into the largest deputy sheriff’s association in the nation. We break down the “Four Pillars” of FDSA—legal protection for deputies in critical incidents, insurance services, advanced training, and the Lend A Hand benevolence fund—highlighting how the organization continues to support and strengthen Florida’s law enforcement community.
