Summary
Sheriff Greg presented the Delaware County Sheriff's Office 2025 annual report, citing 18,518 calls for service, a 37.66% rise in motor vehicle accidents, a 28% drop in inmate intake and $1.74 million in corrections revenue.
Sheriff Greg presented the Delaware County Sheriff's Office 2025 annual report to the board, highlighting public-safety trends and departmental activities. "I'm very proud to present this report to you and to the community," he said, introducing staff and outlining promotions, new hires and programs.
The sheriff said deputies responded to 18,518 calls in 2025. Arrests were up about 6.6% and uniform traffic tickets rose roughly 5.47%, but he emphasized a troubling jump in motor vehicle accidents: "The motor vehicle accidents really is a little bit concerning," he said, reporting an increase of about 37.66% and pointing to stepped-up enforcement such as roadside checks and speed enforcement.
The department listed personnel changes including promotions and new medical staff; it also noted accreditation by New York State across road patrol, corrections and civil divisions. In criminal investigations, the sheriff said the CID handled 740 cases last year, with 69 warrant requests and 64 arrests.
On corrections, the sheriff said the facility has 103 cells (121 when double-bunked) and reported a 28% overall reduction in inmate intake in 2025 (male population down about 16%, female population down about 55%). Corrections revenue totaled $1,741,790 for the year, including $105,188 from U.S. Marshals transports; the sheriff cited cumulative boarding revenue since 2010 of $12,541,032.
The sheriff highlighted training programs, the county's corrections academy and community engagement efforts such as sheriff's camp for at-risk youth and inmate work details serving local needs. He also described civil-division activity (591 papers served, 174 new pistol permits and 151 pistol-permit investigations) and urged public cooperation on drug enforcement.
The board thanked the sheriff and his staff and signaled continued support; several supervisors asked follow-up questions during the brief Q&A that followed the presentation.
