Welcome,
 
As a founding member of our union and currently serving as president, it is my honor to lead the fight for fairness in staffing, funding, pay, pensions and protections for more than a thousand members among our ranks.

The PBA of New York State serves and advocates for officers, lieutenants, sergeants, captains, investigators, superior officers and retirees of the New York State Park Police, New York State University Police, and the Environmental Conservation Officers and Forest Rangers of the Department of Environmental Conversation (NYSDEC). Our board of leadership and committees works with lobbyists and strategists year-round to ensure our priorities are known to New York's elected legislators and leaders, agency commissioners and the Office of the Governor. Together, we attend and join our membership at lobby days, fundraisers, volunteer events and more. We also raise money for donations and scholarships to officers in need and to their families in times of crisis.

The PBA of New York State is proud to represent the interests of our members, and I invite you to learn more about our mission by exploring the various parts of this website. Please consider donating to our mission and our Family Assistance Fund, where your contributions will support the lives and families of those who have worked hard to protect yours and our environments, workplaces and the Empire State. If you have questions or would like to learn more about our work, reach out via our Contact page.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.
 
James McCartney
President, PBA of New York State
