On March 24 the Cayuga County Legislature approved a slate of public‑safety personnel actions and procurement for the Sheriff’s Office.

The Legislature also authorized purchase and equipping of two new marked patrol vehicles at a unit cost of $66,472.23 (total $132,944.46), to replace high‑mileage vehicles.
