“We wanted a contract that allowed us to recruit the best potential candidates, we wanted to have a contract that helped us retain Deputies beyond their potential 20-year retirement, and we wanted our Deputies to earn a wage that is fair and equitable compared to the other agencies within Onondaga County,” June said. “Executive McMahon and his team were able to meet all our objectives and then some. The Deputies, Sergeants, and Lieutenants of OCSPA want to thank Executive McMahon and his team for supporting us and giving us the tools and the contract we need to continue to meet our goals and objectives.”
The four-year agreement starts retroactively to Jan. 1, 2025 and continues through Dec. 31, 2028. The Onondaga County Legislature will vote to finalize the contract in December.
“Our Deputy Sheriffs are second-to-none, serving on the frontlines every day keeping our community safe and this agreement reflects our gratitude for their sacrifice and service to our community.” McMahon said.
