Earlier this year, Yates County Sheriff Ron Spike received the New York State Sheriffs' Association Institute's most prestigious award -- the "Sheriff Grover Cleveland Award," an award that the Association has bestowed only three times before in its history. 

It's quite an honor, and well deserved. 

Congratulations to Sheriff Spike, and thank you for your long-standing commitment to public safety and security in Yates County and across the region
