Geoffrey “Barty” Bartlett was a native East Rochesterian.  After graduating from East Rochester High School in 1973, Mr. Bartlett attended Monroe Community College for 2 years.  After acquiring degrees in both Criminal Justice and Police Science, Mr. Bartlett entered the New York State Police Academy.  After successful completion, Mr. Bartlett’s first job with law enforcement was with the East Rochester Police Department.  After a short stint with the East Rochester Police Department, Mr. Bartlett and his wife Marianne (Dunn), also a homegrown East Rochesterian, relocated to the state of Maryland where he completed another demanding police academy and promptly joined the local police department. 

In his 20 years as a police officer, Mr. Bartlett served as a patrolman, member of the SWAT team, as well as a First Class Deputy Sheriff for the county police department.  An additional highlight of Mr. Bartlett’s career in law enforcement was his position as a nationally ranked motor vehicle collision reconstructionist.  Wanting to share his experiences, Mr. Bartlett decided to put pen to paper and wrote a book about his life as an officer of the law entitled:  “Deputy Death:  Memoirs of a Retired Law Enforcement Officer Collision Reconstructionist,” where he documents his real life police stories and experiences. 

Sadly, Mr. Bartlett passed away in 2022.   But fortunately, the stories and accounts he never shared before publication of his memoirs, live on.
