Instructor
Vincent J. Gerace
A recently retired, highly decorated, 36-year law enforcement veteran, Sheriff’s Lieutenant Vincent learned his trade from countless hours of life experience and specialized training from FBI, New York State (NYS), and world-renowned experts in the field of forensics. In the early 1990s, long before the début of the popular CSI TV shows, Vincent envisioned a county-wide forensic investigation team and paved the way for such a team by teaching NYS Crime Scene Tech classes. Vince was tapped as the manager of the Forensic Investigation Team and managed the most important crime scenes in the county.
