MISSION STATEMENT
TITLE THE SHERIFF
FROM
The principal mission of the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office is to preserve the rights of citizens
and reduce fear in the community through the prevention of crime, protection of persons,
property and maintenance of order in public places and anticipate and respond to events that
threaten public order and the protection of life and property.
It is essential all personnel remember that in the execution of their duties they act not for
themselves but for the good of the public. They shall respect and protect the rights of
individuals and perform their services with honesty, zeal, courage, discretion, fidelity and sound
judgment.
Deputies must seek and preserve public confidence by demonstrating impartial service to law
and by offering service and trust to all members of the public.
It is the expressed policy of this Agency that Deputies will use force only when the exercise of
persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public cooperation to an
extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order and to use only the minimum
degree of physical force which is necessary upon any particular occasion for achieving a police
objective.
The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office is a New York State Department of Criminal Justice
Services accredited agency. The Sheriff’s Office has held this status since 2010. As of 2015, there
are nearly 150 agencies located all over the state that are currently accredited, ranging in
size from a small handful of full-time officers to more than 4,000 sworn personnel. Insurance
benefits, enhanced community support, and a greater overall standard of professionalism are
just a few of the many tangible benefits that accredited agencies enjoy.
The positive impact of the Accreditation Program stems from the profound commitment that
New York’s law enforcement executives have made to excellence and professionalism in the
field of law enforcement, and from their desire to provide the best possible services to the
communities that they serve. The Accreditation Program continues to provide a comprehensive
blueprint for effective, professional law enforcement. (New York State Division of Criminal
Justice Services)

The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office Patrol Services Division is an Accredited Agency through
the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services. The Patrol Services Division handles
calls for service throughout the county and is the primary law enforcement agency where
“local jurisdictions” do not have a local Police Department and we enforce all laws anywhere in
Chemung County. The Patrol Services Division embraces the Mission Statement of the Sheriff’s
Office; “To preserve the rights of citizens and reduce fear in the community through the
prevention of crime, protection of persons, property and maintenance of order in public places
and anticipate and respond to events that threaten public order and the protection of life and
property.”

ENHANCED PATROL ACTIVITIES
The Patrol Services Division participates
in several of New York State Governor’s
Traffic Safety Grants; Police Traffic
Services Grant, Buckle Up New York,
and Child Safety Seat enforcement
programs to include the education and
safety of each grant. The traffic safety
grants run through the state’s fiscal
year of October 1st through
September 30th.

Chemung County

The Patrol Service Division conducted enhanced patrol of Corning Rd. (State Route 14) in the
Town of Horseheads, all of County Route 64 in the Towns of Horseheads and Big Flats, all of
Interstate 86 (old State Route 17), and Clemens Center Parkway in the Town of Southport, with
the primary focus of enforcing the aggressive and distracted driving habits of the motoring
public. During this time period, the Patrol Services Division issued 256 Uniformed Traffic Tickets,
made 2 Criminal Arrests and used 217.25 hours of overtime that was 100% reimbursed through
the Selective Traffic Enforcement Program Grant. Enforcement was roving patrol and road
checkpoint.
Chemung County continues to have a high rate of seat belt compliance, but seat belt
enforcement continues to be a priority for the Sheriff’s Office to keep that compliance rate
high. The enforcement is supplemented by the Buckle Up New York campaign grant. The Patrol
Services Division issued 145 Uniform Traffic Tickets to motorists who were in violation of the
seat belt laws throughout the year.
CHILD SAFETY SEAT INSPECTIONS
The Chemung County Sheriff’s Office participates in the Child Safety Seat inspection and car
seat giveaway through the Child Safety Seat Grant. Citizens who reside in the jurisdiction where
the Sheriff’s Office is the primary law enforcement agency, can make appointments to have
their child seat inspected
or have the seat replaced
if need be at the Sheriff’s
Office in Elmira, N.Y.
In the fall, the Sheriff’s
Office hosted a Child
Safety Seat Inspection
Stations at local Fire
Departments in order
to assist any resident
of the county with the
inspection and proper
fitted child seat or even
replace the old outdated
seat free of cost. The
child seats are purchased
through the grant every
year at no cost to the
county tax payer.

HIGHWAY SAFETY
The Sheriff’s Office continues
to perform a more active role
with traffic enforcement on
the major Interstate that runs
through Chemung County. With
the conversion of State Route 17
into Interstate 86 and the rise of
the speed limit to 65 mph that
conversion brought many safety
concerns. With this, the Sheriff’s
Office paid closer attention to the
enforcement of the traffic laws on
the highway. Sheriff Moss directed
the Patrol Services Division to
actively enforce the Vehicle and
Traffic Laws on Interstate 86. The
Patrol Services Division issued 890
traffic tickets on Interstate 86.

COMMERCIAL VEHICLE ENFORCEMENT
The Sheriff’s Office Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Deputy continues to be active with the
regulation of large commercial trucks driving through Chemung County. The Commercial
Truck Deputy’s primary duties are to ensure that the large commercial trucks are in compliance
with the state and federal
DOT standards and laws.
This enforcement is for the
safety of every motorist
on roadways of Chemung
County. In 2015, Deputy
Michael Skroskznik inspected
133 commercial vehicles;
113 Level-1, 2 Level-2, 18
Level-3 inspections. Deputy
Skroskznik issued 74 traffic
tickets to those vehicles,
placed 7 drivers out-ofservice and 12 commercial
vehicles out-of-service for
safety reasons.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION DIVISION
SPECIAL SERVICES UNIT
MISSION
The Special Services Unit consists of 10 members of the Sheriff’s Office. The SSU Team receives
192 hours of training each year to include training on firearms proficiency, physical fitness,
search warrant executions, tubular vehicle assaults, methodical searching techniques and room
clearing, as well as violent felony warrant arrests. The SSU Team sometimes trains in conjunction
with the Elmira Police Department SWAT Team and both teams use one another when situations
exist for additional resources in any given event.

Apprehend offenders
Develop intelligence in criminal behavior
Cultivate informants
Establish and maintain mutually cooperative relationships with other criminal justice entities
NALOXONE
In July of 2014 the
Chemung County Sheriff’s
Office was trained and
began carrying Naloxone
(NARCAN). Naloxone is a
pure opiate antagonist and
prevents or reverses the
effects of opioids including
respiratory depression,
sedation and hypotension
and reverses the effects of
other narcotic medicines,
such as the illegal use
of an opioid substance,
like heroin. Since the
Intranasal application that all Deputy Sheriff’s carry
implementation of
Naloxone, the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office successfully administered it on six citizens that
had overdosed on heroin or opioid derogative which resulted in their lives being saved.
Since 2014, the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office has successfully administered Narcan in the
following jurisdictions:
1 – Town of Ashland
1 – Town of Southport
2 – Village of Wellsburg
1 – Town of Catlin
1 – Town of Big Flats.

investigating serious crimes, often at the felony level. The CID also serves as a conduit for
information sharing amongst other agencies, oversees the management of Sex Offenders,
and helps coordinate efforts in Counter Terrorism. There are five investigators assigned to the
division; Captain, Sergeant, and three investigators. Also assigned to the division is a Senior

for medical director services from Dr.
Roger Schenone. The Sheriff’s Office also
contracts with Chemung County Family
Services for mental health needs for the

COMMITMENT
As the need for law enforcement services changes, the Chemung County Sheriff’s Office
attempts to keep in step by increasing in-service training, technology and equipment. As the
number of calls for service increase and the resources of the Sheriff’s Office decrease, we must
continually make decisions pertaining to prioritizing the types of calls and incidents that we
respond to. The need to have knowledgeable and professionally trained staff to deal with the
many issues and emotions of citizens is paramount to operating a successful law enforcement
operation. The Sheriff’s Office will continue to bring these professional services to the citizens
of Chemung County in the manner prescribed by our Mission Statement.
