Legislature Recognizes Sheriff’s Office

OSWEGO  – The Oswego County Legislature’s Public Safety Committee presented a proclamation to Oswego County Sheriff Don Hilton in recognition of Sheriff’s Week (Sept. 14-20) at the group’s Sept. 11 meeting. The Sheriff’s Office has been an integral part of the criminal justice system throughout the history of New York State and Oswego County. Despite changes in status, function and powers throughout its long history, the Sheriff’s Office has preserved its distinguished heritage and provided a continuous service to the residents of Oswego County. It has evolved into a modern, professional, full-service law enforcement and corrections agency, staffed by well-trained officers using state-of-the-art technology and applying the latest and most advanced theories and practices in the fields of law enforcement and corrections.
