In March 2025, Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck’s office reported several community activities and departmental statistics.

On March 8, members of the Outdoor Power Equipment, Powersports, and Marine Class at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES installed new tires on one of the department's ATVs. Deputies Ellinwood and Raftis posed for a picture with class members and instructors to mark the event.

On March 19, Sheriff Schenck and Undersheriff Peenstra visited CAP Community Action Programs Cayuga/Seneca to read to students, spending quality time with the children.

The Sheriff's Office also notified the public that New York State Safe Boating Classes have begun. New York law requires all boat operators, regardless of age, to obtain and carry the New York Boating Safety Certificate. Local classes and online options are available through the state parks website.

In partnership with the Cayuga County Office for the Aging, the office helped deliver meals throughout the county with area volunteers and Meals On Wheels. ID Officer Brian Kelly presented a $500 check from the Deputy Sheriff’s Benevolent Association to the Auburn Lacrosse Boosters to help pay for equipment and uniforms.

Deputy Nicholas Garrigan graduated from the Syracuse Regional Police Academy on March 25 and will now complete field training in the Road Patrol Division.
