At a recent meeting of the Genesee County Legislature, Sheriff Gary Maha accepted plaques signifying re-accreditation of the Genesee County 911 Center and accreditation of the Sheriff’s Civil Division. Receiving special recognition from Executive Director Kehoe for their roles in managing the two accreditation processes were Civil Bureau Supervisor Sergeant Jonathan Szumigala, Director of Emergency Communications Steven Sharpe and Accreditation Program Manager Deputy Deborah L. Snyder. The two programs require compliance with hundreds of accreditation standards, adopted by the New York State Sheriffs' Association. Assessors, from around the State, who are experts in their fields are assigned to review and determine whether a county meets the accreditation standards. The Genesee County Sheriff's Office also has achieved accreditation for its law enforcement division from the State of New York.
