Delaware County Sheriffs Office Recognizes Corrections Officer Paige Duchnowski as Employee of the Quarter

DELHI - Sheriff Craig S. DuMond proudly announces that Delaware County Sheriff’s Office Corrections Officer Paige Duchnowski has been selected as the Sheriff’s Office Employee of the Quarter for the 1st Quarter of 2026. 

Duchnowski joined the Sheriff’s Office in July 2025, following her graduation from high school and the DCMO BOCES Security and Law Enforcement Class. 

Corrections Officer Duchnowski was nominated by her coworkers for this award, who consistently praised her dedication, professionalism, and work ethic, making her truly deserving this recognition. Although she has been with the Sheriff’s Office for a relatively short period of time, Officer Duchnowski has quickly distinguished herself as a “go getter” and she has proven herself to be reliable, proactive, and committed to ensuring the safe, smooth and efficient operation of the Correctional Facility, as well as to supporting her fellow officers and upholding the mission of the Sheriff’s Office.

The Delaware County Sheriff’s Office is proud to recognize Corrections Officer Paige Duchnowski as our Employee of the Quarter and we extend our sincere congratulations and appreciation for her dedication, commitment, and service to the Office of the Sheriff and to the residents of Delaware County.
