Sheriff Baxter Faces Ethics Probe | Rochester News

Sheriff Todd Baxter is being asked to pause his private consulting firm’s law enforcement-specific training programs after the Monroe County Board of Ethics raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest — not because he broke rules, but to preserve public trust. The board recommends he stop developing or delivering courses like “Transforming Jail Culture” while serving as sheriff, remove uniform photos from company social media, and avoid linking his private business to his public role. General leadership training is still allowed if done on his own time and without county resources. Baxter agrees to comply, emphasizing that public service comes first and no such training has yet been delivered to county employees or within the county.
