Sheriff Apple Steps Down to Serve Youth | Albany News

Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple is stepping down after 34 years on the force, ending his tenure as sheriff and ruling out a reelection bid. Known for turning part of the jail into a homeless shelter that helped over 800 people, Apple vows to stay active in public safety—especially for youth, whom he believes are central to today’s crime challenges.
