September 18-24 is New York State Sheriffs’ Week.
This is a time to recognize the significant contributions made by the Office of Sheriff in county government and in the statewide criminal justice system.
55 of New York's 58 sheriffs are elected officials, accountable to the citizen voter every four years and responsible for the complex operations of a Sheriff’s Office, which can include criminal law enforcement, traffic patrol, emergency rescue operations, homeland security programs, SWAT operations, civil emergency response, jail operations, correctional alternative management, courtroom security, and civil litigation process, among others.
NYSSA is proud of the hardworking Sheriffs of New York State, and we thank them for protecting and serving all residents and visitors of the Empire State.
