Billy J. Leone (Full Time Officer)
I started my journey with Chautauqua Institution in June of 1997, I was hired by the Police Department as a Gate Security Officer, and from there I moved up touching every positon in the Police department from Bike Patrol, Gate Supervisor, Bike Patrol Supervisor, Police Officer, Police Sergeant, and Presently Officer IN Charge.
In addition to working at Chautauqua Institution, I’m currently employed with the Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Department as a Deputy Sheriff since 2009. In the past I have also worked for New Directions Detention facility as a youth counselor, from 2006 to 2009.
Chautauqua Institution has become a second home for me, in my time working here (though it took a long time) I have learned the true meaning of Chautauqua, and what it means to be part of this community, if ever given the option to go back and change my paths, I wouldn’t change a thing.
