President's Message
President's Message
As the president of this illustrious organization, I am filled with pride and determination. Since our merger in 2022 with the esteemed New York State Association of PBAs, the PCNY has emerged as a towering presence, standing as the paramount police organization in the Empire State and ranking among the largest statewide police entities across the entire United States.
Within the hallowed halls of our fully staffed office in Albany, the beating heart of our state, we embark on a noble mission. Here, we engage in the crucial work of representing the dedicated men and women who uphold the badge and serve their communities with unwavering courage and integrity. Through dialogue with our elected leaders in both the legislative and executive spheres, we champion initiatives that bolster public safety, empower our officers to excel in their duties, and safeguard the well-being of our cherished members and their families. Moreover, we steadfastly oppose any measures that seek to undermine the noble calling of law enforcement and the fabric of our society.
Beyond the confines of our state capital, our efforts transcend boundaries. We host enlightening seminars, curate vital information on police salaries, benefits, and contracts, and launch robust public relations campaigns to amplify the voice of our profession. Furthermore, we extend a helping hand to our member units, offering unwavering support and guidance in their endeavors.
Undoubtedly, the challenges facing our noble profession have intensified in recent years. Yet, in the face of adversity, we stand resolute. Together, as police officers and union officials, we remain steadfast in our commitment to uphold the honor and dignity of policing. We are dedicated to dispelling misconceptions propagated by the media and legislature, and to restoring the rightful reverence accorded to law enforcement in New York and across our great nation.
To our esteemed members, I invite you to explore this website, a treasury of information and resources tailored to your needs. And to our fellow police labor groups throughout New York, we extend a heartfelt invitation to join forces with us. For in unity, there is strength, and together, we shall forge a brighter future for all.
With unwavering resolve,
Michael O'Meara
President
Police Conference of New York
