PASSING OF RETIRED MEMBER

It is with profound sadness that Sheriff Juan Figueroa announces the passing of Sergeant Timothy E. McGuire (retired). Tim began his career with the Ulster County Sheriff’s Office in 1975 and retired in March of 2007, giving over 32 years of service to Ulster County. During his tenure, he served in various capacities to include our In-Water Rescue team as a tender, Navigation team member on the Hudson River, instructor in DWI Investigations and Field Sobriety Testing and sergeant assigned to patrol, just to name a few. He graduated from the prestigious FBI National Academy as part of the 208th Session in March of 2002. Upon retirement, he remained in a part-time capacity with our agency for nearly another 20 years, when he recently “retired” again. He also served as an instructor in Marine Patrol Operations for the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation in Lake George. Sergeant Timothy McGuire was an asset to our agency and will truly be missed. We kindly ask you keep his family and friends in your thoughts during this difficult time. Details surrounding arrangements will be forthcoming.
