MONTICELLO, NY — On November 15 the Sullivan County Sheriff’s Office held an open house at the agency’s patrol division on Bushnell Avenue in Monticello. Citizens stopped by to visit with deputies, see their equipment and have some refreshments. Several dignitaries also visited. Sullivan County legislators Ira Steingardt, Kathy LaBuda and Cora Edwards were in attendance as well as former Town of Gardiner and Ulster County legislator Jack Hayes. Sheriff Mike Schiff was on hand to greet visitors and “swear in” several children, who had accompanied their parents, as junior deputy sheriffs.
