Cattaraugus County Sheriff Eric Butler and Seneca Nation of Indians President J.C. Seneca announce the deputizing of the newest road patrol canine, Lex.
In December 2024 the Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office partnered with the Seneca Nation in support of a new K-9 unit to patrol our communities.
Lex, a 1 ½ year old German Shepard, started training with her handler, Deputy Justin Grimm in December 2024.
Sheriff Butler and Deputy Grimm agreed to name Lex after our former Senior Emergency Services Dispatcher Timothy Lexer who tragically passed away in July of 2024.
