Oneida County Sheriff Rob Maciol

Sheriff Maciol Listens

Rob knows in order to be an effective Sheriff, he must listen. It’s vital to listen to the people of Oneida County, and to hear their concerns. How can we do better? What keeps people up at night? This is the feedback that leads to a safer community.

Tough on Crime

Sheriff Maciol continues to pressure Governor Hochul and the NYS Legislature over the failed Bail Reform Laws that have made New York less safe. Rob’s message is clear, creating “cookie cutter” laws for both Upstate and New York City is a big mistake. He’ll keep the pressure on for meaningful reform.

Protecting Our Children

Sheriff Maciol worked diligently with County Executive Anthony Picente and the Legislature to secure a resource officer to be on duty and always present at every Oneida County School. Rob believes our children are our most precious asset and their safety must always come first.

Your Sheriff

Family First

Sheriff Maciol understands how important family, children, and community safety is to the people of Oneida County. That’s because as a husband, father, and grandfather, he has the same worries that we have when it comes to personal and public safety.

Rob and his wife Tammy own a small family farm which serves as natural therapy for the couple amidst the stresses of today’s busy world. But law enforcement and public service are always top-of-mind for the man holding Oneida County’s oldest elected position. The Oneida County Sheriff’s Office dates back to 1798.

Connecting a Tight-Knit Oneida County Community

Sheriff Rob Maciol believes in making personal connections with the youth of our community.

It’s important that children know at a young age that law enforcement exists to protect all of its citizens. It’s vital that children know that if and when they need help, police are there to protect.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

Latest events

Our weekend of events celebrating America’s 250th took us from one end of the county to the other and everywhere in between.
Saturday took us from an awesome parade in Utica, to the Oneida County Public Market, to the Village of Waterville’s Celebration, to the City of Rome’s Celebration, to a great 4th of July gathering at A&P Master Imaging, and ended with fireworks at Utica’s Harbor Point.
Sunday began with church with a most fitting Homily by Father Hage followed by breakfast with the family. The Village of Clinton’s parade was jam packed with spirit and patriotism and so was the ceremony in the village green that followed. We ended our night with an enjoyable get together at the Humphreys Farm in New Hartford where we had a front row seat on the hill overlooking Sherillbrook Park for a spectacular fireworks display!
God Bless America!!  -Rob
