Tim Walsh, retired Wellsville Police Chief, endorses Rick Whitney for Sheriff

To my fellow Allegany County Citizens:

The undersigned is writing to show support for Sheriff Rick Whitney in his bid for re-election as Sheriff of Allegany County. As a member of the Allegany County law enforcement community for over forty years, I had several occasions to work with Sheriff Whitney. I can attest that Rick has always been professional and cooperative while interacting with the Wellsville Police Department and the Southern Tier Regional Drug Task Force of which I was a member of at its inception. Rick has done a fine job directing the Sheriff’s department, working within his budget and providing the services that the Board of Legislators feels that the Sheriff should provide; all while dealing with contractual agreements and State and Federal regulations.
Throughout the time I have known Rick, he has shown himself to be a professional and consciences public servant never seeking the spot light and conducting himself in a caring and compassionate way. Rick's only concern has been to serve the people of Allegany County with the resources he has at his disposal.
