               HONORING THE CAREER OF SHERIFF DAVID GOULD

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JOHN KATKO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 25, 2018

  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Cayuga County Sheriff 
David Gould on his retirement after nearly fifty years of service to 
our community.
   Mr. Gould joined the New York State Police in 1970 after serving in 
the U.S. Army. Following his 34-year career with the New York State 
Police, Mr. Gould worked as a Special Investigator for the Seneca 
County District Attorney's Office.
   In November 2006, Mr. Gould was elected Cayuga County Sheriff. Since 
January 1, 2007 he has served as the County's Chief Law Enforcement 
Officer, leading an office of nearly 200 employees. After 48 years in 
law enforcement, Sheriff Gould will retire at the end of his term in 
2018.
   Spending nearly his entire career keeping communities safe, David 
Gould is truly a model public servant. Mr. Gould has put his service to 
the community above partisan politics. Since his election as Sheriff, 
Mr. Gould has worked tirelessly to combat the heroin epidemic, pursue 
human traffickers, and crack down on domestic abuse. His department has 
instituted and documented almost 50 new initiatives including the 
creation of two substations for the Sheriff's department in Cato and 
Moravia, ensuring the Cayuga County Sheriff's Department has 
representation in both northern and southern portions of the region. 
During his tenure, the Cayuga County Sheriff's Department has 
strengthened its relationship with members of the Auburn, Moravia, Port 
Byron and Weedsport Police Departments, the New York State Police 
Department, the FBI, the Secret Service, the Department of Homeland 
Security, and the U.S. Attorney's Office.
   I join members of my community in thanking Sheriff Gould for his 
career of public service, and wish him the best in retirement.
