CANTON — The St. Lawrence County Legislature has proclaimed Sept. 18-24 as Sheriff’s Week in St. Lawrence County.
In a resolution passed during the legislature’s full board meeting on Sept. 12, officials celebrated the Sheriff’s Office as an integral part of the criminal just system in New York State and in St. Lawrence County throughout history.
“Despite changes in its function, status and power during it’s long history, the Office of the Sheriff has maintained a continuous existence, preserved its distinguishing heritage, and continued to be an essential component of our criminal justice community,” the resolution read.
The resolution concluded by saying “it is fitting to celebrate the historical contributions of the Office of the Sheriff and the significant role that the Sheriffs play in our modern criminal justice system.”
