PBA of NYS Calls On Gov. Cuomo to Reject Ill-Advised Security Plan for State Beaches and Parks

Qualified, Trained Officers Essential to Ensure Safe, Summer Season

The PBA of New York State, the organization representing the park police officers responsible for protecting the public, keeping order and effectuating rescues at popular Long Island beaches and urban parks, today called on the Cuomo Administration to scrap a plan to supplement its depleted police force by hiring inexperienced, unprepared college students to perform law enforcement duties such as managing and patrolling massive crowds.

Our Deepest Condolences

The PBA gives our condolences to the family of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Police Officer, Sean Collier of Somerville, who was shot and killed Thursday night, reportedly by the suspects believed to be responsible for the Boston Marathon bombings.  We hope the police and other law enforcement personnel who are presently searching for the 2^nd suspect, who is still at large, find him without any further loss of law enforcement or civilian life. 

This terrible ordeal underscores for us that we are living in different and more dangerous times, and it is quite clear that policing is becoming more complicated and dangerous each and every day.  

University at Buffalo must consider public safety in its planning

The development of the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus is certainly one of the best things to happen to Buffalo and Western New York this century. In a city that has been suffering from decline for many decades, this sprawling consortium of health care entities, research facilities and medical education institutions will deliver world-class health care and cutting-edge education and research, and will be an economic driver for the entire region.

That is the good news.
