Genesee County Sheriff Joseph M. Graff and his staff were honored at a meeting of the Genesee County Legislature for having achieved reaccreditation of the Sheriff\u2019s Civil Office and the County 9-1-1 Emergency Services Dispatch Center from the New York State Sheriffs\u2019 Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tom Mitchell, NYS Sheriffs\u2019 Association Accreditation Program Director, presented the accreditation plaques and pointed out that only 31 of the state\u2019s 62 counties have been able to achieve accreditation of their civil office and only 16 counties maintain an accredited communications center. There are 121 standards for Civil and 100 standards for the 9-1-1 center that are required to be met. During the accreditation reviews, assessors usually spend a couple of days at a sheriff\u2019s office to make sure it\u2019s complying with all the standards. Accreditation is for a five-year period and may be renewed indefinitely, as long as the agency continues to meet the established standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Special recognition was given to Deborah A. Shea, Principal Financial Clerk in the Sheriff\u2019s Civil Office, and to Robert H. Tripp, Senior Emergency Services Dispatcher, for their work in guiding the re-accreditation effort in their respective divisions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
