The Sheriff’s Office’s Community Resource Officer Program (CRO) currently has three Deputy Sheriffs and two Sergeants assigned. Sergeant Patrick Parks oversees the Elmira City School District CRO Program and Sergeant Thomas Kimble oversees the Horseheads Central School District CRO Program. Deputy Hodge is full-time at the Ernie Davis Academy, Deputy Masia is full-time at Elmira High School, Deputy Parisi is full-time at Broadway Academy, and Deputy Goodwin is full-time at the BOCES Campus. The goal of these officers is to interact with students in a positive manner on a daily basis. Deputy Sheriffs assist with counseling, discipline and are in charge of initiating their own program, which helps educate students on how to become productive members of society.
