JOHNSTOWN The Fulton County Board of Supervisors recently adopted a local law to allow Sheriff Richard Giardino to recruit corrections officers from counties contiguous to Fulton County.
Action by the board followed a public hearing on the matter.
The sheriff has needed a larger pool of officers to serve the Fulton County Correctional Facility at Route 29 and Harrison Street. Supervisors voted to adopt local law “B” of 2020 allowing not only residents of Fulton County to serve as corrections officers, but residents of continuous counties, such as Montgomery, Saratoga and Herkimer counties.
“It will help me out,” Giardino said Thursday. “It gives me a larger pool of applicants.”
