ALBANY – This week the New York State Police Investigators Association (NYSPIA) formally endorsed Republican Tim Dymond in this year’s election for Sullivan County Sheriff. The organization represents more than 2,000 active and retired members of the Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) of the New York State Police.

In their letter of endorsement, NYSPIA President William Diaz and 10 members of the Board wrote, “Through the many years of dedicated service that you have given to the citizens of Sullivan County, you have earned a reputation among law enforcement personnel that is second to none” and “You have had an exemplary record during your 17-year career with the New York State Police and your law enforcement experience provides you with the necessary foundation and perspective to serve as the Sullivan County Sheriff.”

Dymond announced his campaign earlier this month immediately following his retirement from the State Police. He retired with the rank of Senior Investigator and as a longtime member of the Violent Gang and Narcotics Enforcement Team. During his tenure, he worked extensively as an Undercover Officer and ran complex investigations that removed illicit drugs - including heroin, cocaine, meth and fentanyl - from our streets. He has been the lead Investigator on murder, rape, robbery and child abuse cases that put dangerous criminals in State Prison.

A lifelong resident of Sullivan County, Dymond was born and raised in Neversink and graduated from Tri-Valley High School. He began his law enforcement service with the NYPD in 2005 patrolling dangerous neighborhoods in the Bronx. He later served as an officer with the Fallsburg Police Department before joining the State Police in 2008 (graduating at the top of his Recruit Class). In 2012, he was named Troop F “Trooper of the Year”.

Aside from his professional career spent protecting the public, Dymond has been a longtime active community volunteer here in Sullivan County. He has volunteered as a youth football, basketball and soccer coach, and serves as the Vice President of the Tri-Valley School Board. He lives in Neversink with his family and can be regularly seen at his children’s games all over the county.

Republican Primary Election Day is June 24, 2025. The General Election will be held on November 4, 2025. Early Voting and Absentee Voting will be available for both elections.
