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.
