MONTICELLO, NY (March 28, 2011) – The Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office would like to advise the public that the New York State Sheriff’s Association has begun its 2011 fundraising drive.

The Sheriff has received several inquiries as to whether a solicitation by mail from the State Association’s Headquarters located at 27 Elk Street in Albany is legitimate.

The answer is yes. Donations to the State Sheriff’s Association fund the summer camp for underprivileged children, criminal justice scholarships, and other training programs.

"Each year the generosity of the citizens of Sullivan County makes the summer camp possible for our deserving youth ", said Sheriff Mike Schiff.

The Sheriff wishes to remind everyone that this program is conducted through the mail only. The New York State Sheriff’s Association does not solicit by telephone.
