Canadian County Sheriff Chris West gained a new appreciation for the safety that America enjoys while on a recent trip to Israel.

“In the U.S., we aren’t surrounded by people who want to kill us,” West said.

“The Israelis definitely face some unique challenges we don’t have in the United States, and I was very impressed by how they deal with them,” he said.

West was in Israel from Dec. 8-17 in his capacity as a board member of the National Sheriffs Association and a member of its Border Security Committee.
