On June 19, 2018, several members of the Sheriff’s Office traveled to Batavia, NY to attend the graduation of Deputy Matthew Thomas from Drug Recognition Expert school.
Deputy Thomas spent the last three weeks attending this elite training to earn his expert status regarding drug evaluations.
Livingston County now has eight Drug Recognition Experts ( 7 at our Office and 1 at Geneseo PD) in effort to remove impaired drivers off our roadways and make our roadways safer.

Monroe County STOP-DWI in conjunction with Rochester Against Intoxicated Driving (RAID), held the 2016 “Lights on for Life” Motorcade on December 10. This year Monroe County was joined by Genesee, Livingston and Wayne Counties Sheriff’s Office’s with each supplying a vehicle for support. Over twenty-five vehicles participated in the Motorcade to raise awareness during National Drugged and Drunk Driving Awareness Month. Thank you to all agencies that were present.
New York’s STOP-DWI program is the Nations’ first and, to date, only self-sustaining impaired driving program. Other States have implemented components of self-sufficiency, but none to the degree of New York State.
