    Allegany County Sheriff William Tompkins recently accepted an award to his Office for achieving jail accreditation from the New York State Sheriffs' Association.  Jails seeking accreditation must be judged in compliance with 166 separate standards adopted by the Association.  Jail administrators from other counties are assigned to review county compliance with the standards, and administrators from Monroe, Orange and Ontario Counties served as assessors for the Allegany County jail accreditation.  Please click here to read an article in the Olean Times Herald about the award ceremony.

     


    And, speaking of accreditation, Seneca County Sheriff Jack Stenberg also received an award this week for achieving accreditation at the Seneca County Jail.  The Seneca County Sheriff's court security division received accreditation earlier this year.  NYSSA accreditation is valid for five years, and each year the Sheriff must certify that his Office continues to be in compliance with the appropriate standards.  After five years, a new assessment team is sent to the county to re-accredit the Sheriff's Office.  NYSSA accreditation programs are offered without fee to any county in New York State.
