Peter Kehoe, Executive Director of the Association, pointed out that only 25 of the State\u2019s 62 counties have been able to achieve accreditation of their civil office and only 15 counties maintain an accredited communications center. \u201cTo earn accreditation\u201d, Kehoe said, \u201cthe Genesee County Sheriff\u2019s Office had to demonstrate that it adheres to a strict set of standards and best practices established by experts in the fields of both civil process and emergency communications.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Sheriff\u2019s Office has also received accreditation of the Sheriff\u2019s Road Patrol from the New York State Law Enforcement Agency Accreditation Council. \u201cEach of these accreditations, standing alone, is a significant achievement, and taken together, they clearly demonstrate the commitment of the Sheriff and his staff to excellence in their profession,\u201d Kehoe said. \u201cYou have an outstanding Sheriff and Sheriff\u2019s Office, which are very well respected locally, but also throughout the State. The citizens of Genesee County, and this Genesee County Legislature, should be very proud of their Sheriff\u2019s Office.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheriff Sheron thanked his Deputies and staff for all their hard work for the citizens of the County, and for their efforts in achieving accreditation. Special recognition was given to Deborah Shea, Principal Financial Clerk in the Sheriff\u2019s Civil Office, and to Robert Tripp, Senior Emergency Services Dispatcher, for their work in guiding the re-accreditation effort in their respective divisions. Sheriff Sheron also acknowledged County Legislator Gary Maha, former Genesee County Sheriff, for his efforts in starting the original accreditation programs during his tenure as Sheriff. Sheriff Sheron and his staff have worked diligently to continue meeting the accreditation standards, as they are periodically updated, in order to earn the reaccreditation which was awarded at the meeting Wednesday. 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 The New York State Sheriffs\u2019 Association, headquartered in Albany, is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1934, which assists the Sheriffs of New York to effectively and efficiently deliver services to the public. Sheriff Sheron serves as a Trustee and member of the Association\u2019s Executive Committee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Press release Genesee County Sheriff William A.
