The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is being recognized for its ongoing efforts to meet law enforcement excellence standards.

Sheriff Thomas Mills announced March 19 that the office was awarded reaccreditation by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office first gained accreditation in 2010.

There are 133 professional standards set forth in the Accreditation Program.

Mills says only 24% of law enforcement agencies in the state achieve the standards ranging from agency organization and fiscal management to training and enforcement procedures in the field.
