The West Genesee school district welcomed Officer Timothy MacDerment to Split Rock Elementary School.

MacDerment is their new school patrol officer (SPO) and will be in the building working with both staff and students each school day.

MacDerment is a SUNY Canton alumnus, where he received his associate of applied science in criminal Justice and obtained his bachelor of science in criminal justice at SUNY Brockport.

He started his career with the Town of Manlius Police Department as a patrol officer for five years.

This was followed by 15 years of service in the Syracuse Police Department, working in several divisions ranging from Patrol to Criminal Investigation and Detective to Crime-Scene Unit.

“We look forward to having Officer MacDerment as part of ‘The Rock’ as he brings tremendous knowledge and expertise to the building,” Principal Kimpland said.
