St. Lawrence County Sheriff Brooks J.

The informational meeting was simply to obtain data and objectives towards consolidation from the city so the sheriff could review and discuss matters with other county offices, the statement said. “As stated in the past, Sheriff Bigwarfe confirms that he will continue to support law enforcement in the County, which includes the City of Ogdensburg Police Department. Public safety and first responders must be top priority for local government leaders as there is no greater duty of government than to ensure the safety of its citizens,” said the statement.

Margaret Haggerty, who represents a group called the Concerned Citizens of Ogdensburg, has been circulating the letter and collecting signatures online for the past week, she said she has over 100 and hopes to have 300 when she presents the letter Monday at the city council meeting. The lengthy letter criticizes City Manager Steven Jellie for having “no formal education that would suggest qualification for the City manager.” The letter also criticized Jellie’s failure to move to the city in a timely fashion, though Jellie has recently purchased a home in the city.
