YONKERS TIMES--CONGRESSMAN LAWLER SUPPORTS NEW CONTRACT FOR WESTCHESTER COUNTY POLICE

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses or worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

YONKERS TIMES--CONGRESSMAN LAWLER SUPPORTS NEW CONTRACT FOR WESTCHESTER COUNTY POLICE

The men and women of the Westchester County Police Department have gone three years without a contract. In that time, the county has not promoted a single sergeant or lieutenant, and the department is down three captains, five lieutenants, and five sergeants.

It has gotten so bad that the county is pulling supervising officers out of the Westchester County Airport Precinct just to cover minimum patrol staffing. That airport handles over 170,000 flights a year, and the federal government is investing nearly $18 million to modernize its air traffic control, funding I helped deliver in Congress.

I stand with the men and women of the Westchester County Police PBA. County Executive Ken Jenkins should immediately settle a fair contract and make the promotions. MORE AT Congressman Lawler -Supports New Contract for Westchester County Police | Yonkers Times
