30 year anniversary!
How do you get 30 years of marriage; God, love, dedication, family, forgiveness, honor, humor, fun, giving, sacrifice, same-side-sitters (lol), humbleness...
God blessed me with an incredible partner.
Thank you Mary for all of the above & much more! Love ya.
When your son is on a nine day field exercise in Germany, and his Stryker breaks down forcing a return to base for a quick fix, and he takes the time to call home. Love that boy.
48 months of sweeping changes to Criminal Justice Reform: Raise The Age, Discovery, Bail, HALT, Less is More, the legalization of marijuana… We cannot be too proud to realize modifications are needed to make our communities safer.
We demand a seat at the table.
Our men & women put on a uniform everyday and enter the unexpected... they serve to protect you & me with hopes of returning to their families at the end of their shifts...and for many those shifts are not 9 to 5.
Thank you Deputies, job well done.
I thank God. I thank Mary & my family who worked everyday the last four years. I thank my staff, in particular the Deputies who stood the line and have not flinched once when asked to police in some of the most difficult times. I thank our friends.
We thank you for your support!

Nice work!
A heartfelt thank you to all of the local police chiefs, public safety leaders, deputies & officers who worked tirelessly thru the night & into this a.m. We are proud of your professionalism as public servants.
MCSO is incredibly appreciative of ALL of its deputies who worked throughout the night with riot control, response to looting & taking hundreds of calls for service in

I give thanks to my bride. The last 2 weeks she has put countless hours into a golf tournament & a horse competition. Not being familiar with either event she went above & beyond for the sake of others.
Sheriff Deputies & less fortunate kids are the recipient of her efforts!

Laws help create culture, and right now we have a culture of lawlessness. A 12, 13, and 14 year-old in a stolen vehicle! We must never accept this. We must do better.

Today is a disgrace. The violence at the Capitol is an assault on our democracy. Not adhering to the rule of law is dangerous and cannot be tolerated as it leads to insurrection. This is the bedrock of our democracy. We must come together as a nation.
A memorial service was held today for fallen Rochester Police Officer Daryl Pierson.
Daryl was shot & killed on September 3rd of 2014, while chasing a suspect on Hudson Ave.
Thank you Trinity Community Church in Irondequoit.
Miss you friend.
I had dinner with someone whom I admire a lot. Tony DiPonzio is a man of courage, perseverance, humor, love of life, a police officer through and through.
I am so encouraged by the men & women I work with.
They have worked hard for days & we continuously learn as we go down this new road.
Thanks to the Deputies, staff, & command... you are pros!!
Take care of each other & the community we serve.
We will persevere.

3 years ago this week I had successful surgery for prostate cancer. Today I am on a beautiful hike. I thank God for my health, Mary for unwavering support, Dr. Courtsal who found the cancer with a simple blood test & Dr. Joseph who has saved many lives.
This past week was difficult. We saw images we won't forget. We also cannot forget George Floyd. The power of the people is strong when we come together to effect change. For example,

New York State is the only state in the nation that does not empower judges to detain individuals when they pose a threat to the community, and release them once the danger is mitigated. We ask that this be remedied.
Support change.

We are blessed to have LEOs willing to risk their lives to stop violent criminals.
Unconscionably, these criminals are supported by certain members of Council as communities continue to be terrorized.
Today, I met with 10 legislators from different tiers of government.
All agree the system is failing & we must address the level of violence in our communities.
We all agree it’s time to act; developing short & long-term strategy.
I will continue to push for immediate action.
We offer our condolences to the families. We are thankful for the miracle that a Deputy or Officer was not struck. They did all they could do to prevent another tragedy or loss of life, including risking it all. I am honored to be amongst them in this profession.

One year!
This year Car 501 & 502 worked patrol with the fine 3rd Platoon. Then, as with last year, we stepped out at the jail at midnight.
We appreciate all the hard work.
Violation of laws without consequences = victims.
Also, how many times must my Deputies & our other brave men & women in law enforcement risk their lives to apprehend dangerous & repeat offenders who refuse to comply with our laws?
We have been asking since November, 2019.

Happy 21st birthday Zach Baxter. We are very proud of you & your servant attitude.
Stay pure, stay true to your values & stay true to your beliefs.
God has blessed us.
A good way to spend a few hours on a Sunday night- taking jobs with Deputies; burglar alarm, customer trouble-persons refusing to leave McDonalds, harassment call with an open line & arguing, suspicious vehicle behind a business-turned out to be a person in need who we helped...
Thank you for honoring his service.
We will never stop answering our call to duty & we will never stop recognizing the incredible sacrifice of our servants.
It is not part of a job description to be stabbed in the face, it is a sacrifice.

Anthony Mazurkiewicz was a beloved police officer who died in the line of duty in 2022 in Rochester, New York. Now his friend and former colleague, Brett Sobieraski, is honoring him in a special way to ensure he is never forgotten.
