Elections and Organization
Sheriffs in New York State (outside of New York City, Nassau and Westchester Counties) are elected for three or four-year terms, depending on the vote of the county government, specifically the county legislature. This office is unusual in NY state in that a superintendent, rather than a titutlar undersheriff, runs the jail.
The current sheriff is Gary T. Maha and the undersheriff is William A. Sheron, Jr.

Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
