CHENANGO COUNTY – The Chenango County Sheriff’s Office has released a community survey to determine how they can better serve their community.

According to Chenango County Sheriff Ernest Cutting, the sheriff’s office employs 23 individuals, which includes administration, investigation, road patrol and specialty units. As part of a state mandate, the sheriff’s office has released a survey that asks about different aspects of their work, and how they can better serve members of its community.

Cutting said the office serves a population of about 48,000 residents within Chenango County, and in 2019 they handled 17,920 calls for service. He said his goal is to provide the best quality service he can to the residents of Chenango County.

“We strongly value the opinion and input of all county residents and business owners,” said Cutting. “We will use the data from this survey to assist with reviewing our current policies, procedures, practices, and operations to better serve you.”

“This survey is being offered to county residents in response to the Governor’s Executive Order 203 and is part of our plan to comply with the mandate.”

Cutting said in addition to the survey, the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office is also accredited through the New York State Law Enforcement Association. He said the Accreditation Program provides formal recognition that the agency meets or exceeds general expectations of quality in the field.

He added that the program has four main goals, to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of law enforcement agencies, to promote increased cooperation and coordination among agencies, to ensure the appropriate training of law enforcement personnel, and to promote public confidence in law enforcement.

“The sheriff’s office was accredited in 1999, and successfully re-accredited in 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019,” said Cutting. “Only 12 of New York State Sheriff’s Offices have achieved accreditation across the board.”

Cutting said the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office is one of the 12. Anyone interested in taking the survey is welcome to do so by reaching out to the sheriff’s office at (607) 334-2000.

He said the survey must be returned to the Chenango County Sheriff’s Office by February 8, 2021.
