ULSTER COUNTY – Sheriff Juan Figueroa is proud to announce the Corrections Division has been reaccredited by the New York State Sheriffs’ Association through March 2029. Last night, members of the Corrections Division received the award from the New York State Sheriffs’ Association Executive Director Peter Kehoe during the Ulster County Legislature’s Law Enforcement & Public Safety Committee’s monthly meeting.
Accreditation standards are best practices and guidelines set forth by industry experts. As one of only 35 counties throughout New York State to achieve these Corrections standards, this demonstrates meeting or exceeding the requirements in each of the 166 individual categories is no easy feat. We are proud of the men and women of the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division for continually maintaining the high level of professionalism and dedication to their profession.
