MONTICELLO, NY (March 16, 2012) – The Sullivan County Legislature honored two members of the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday, March 15, 2012.
Sergeant Stacey Moyer of the Jail Division and Sergeant Cheryl Crumley of the Patrol Division were both recognized for becoming the first female sergeants in the history of the Sheriff’s Office.
Both women took competitive civil service exams with their male counterparts and were selected after an interview process.
“We have had female corporals in the past”, said Sheriff Mike Schiff, “but this is the first time we have had women attain the rank of sergeant. It is a significant milestone.”
Schiff said that his office is dedicated to diversity and promoting the best qualified candidates regardless of gender. He noted that both women are respected and competent law enforcement professionals with good leadership skills.
The Sheriff thanked public safety chairperson Cora Edwards and the Sullivan County Legislature for taking the time out from their busy agenda to honor his deputies.
