In March 2025, Cayuga County Sheriff Brian Schenck’s office reported several community activities and departmental statistics.

On March 8, members of the Outdoor Power Equipment, Powersports, and Marine Class at Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES installed new tires on one of the department's ATVs. Deputies Ellinwood and Raftis posed for a picture with class members and instructors to mark the event.
