Governor Cuomo proclaims this week as Sheriff’s Week

LIVINGSTON COUNTY — Governor Andrew Cuomo has proclaimed this week to be New York State’s Sheriff’s Week.

According to a press release, Sheriff’s week celebrates the significant contributions made by Sheriff Office’s in county government and in the state wide criminal justice system.

“Governor Cuomo’s proclamation not only recognizes the work of the county sheriffs, but it also recognizes the dedicated and professional work of deputies, corrections officers and civilian employees who work in sheriff’s offices throughout the state,” said Livingston County Sheriff John M. York.

The Sheriff takes an active role in community crime prevention efforts, victims’ assistance programs, and drug awareness education in schools.

In addition to traditional public safety services, such as road patrol, criminal investigation and traffic control, the Livingston County Sheriff’s Office patrols our lakes and waterways, provides security in our courts and maintains our county jails and coordinates the dispatch of all emergency services in the county.
