CATSKILL – Sheriff Peter J. Kusminsky is proud to announce the accreditation of the Greene County  Sheriff’s Office Jail Division for the first time in history. Agencies are not mandated to be  accredited, it is a voluntary process that involves a third party measuring and attesting to an  agency meeting a set of nationally recognized standards and identified best practices. To  become accredited, countless hours of work were put in to ensure that the jail policies, training,  and daily operations were compliant. The process does not end at just achieving the  accreditation status, it is an ever changing and ongoing feat to maintain. The Greene County  Sheriff’s Office, both patrol and jail functions, are committed to providing the community and its  citizens with a professional, knowledgeable, and effective service that continues to meet the  accreditation standard.
