 HONORING THE 225TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STEUBEN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. TOM REED

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 22, 2021

  Mr. REED. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the 225th anniversary 
of the Steuben County Sheriffs Office, and the legacy of the office's 
public service and dedication to public safety.
  The Steuben County Sheriffs Office was constitutionally established 
in 1796, with William Dunn being sworn in as Sheriff on March 31, 1796. 
From 1796 until 1873, the Steuben County Sheriffs Office was the only 
law enforcement agency serving the county. The longest serving Sheriff 
was Jack Lisi, who served from 1970 to 1987.
  Sheriff James Allard is the current sheriff of the county and is the 
fifty-ninth Sheriff to serve in office. James has a strong commitment 
to serving his community and became Undersheriff of the county in 2013. 
He was elected as Sheriff in 2016.
  We are honored to be able to recognize the Steuben County Sheriffs 
Office in this way. The Steuben County Sheriffs Office has provided 
service and safety to the communities it served for hundreds of years 
and should be honored for that service. We cannot forget the great 
personal risk and dedication each Sheriff showed during their service. 
Today, we stand and honor those efforts before the eyes of America.
  Given the above, I ask that this Legislative Body pause in its 
deliberations and join me to honor the 225th anniversary of the Steuben 
County Sheriff's Office, and the legacy of the office's public service 
and dedication to public safety.
