When you see numbers like this, don't forget that the FOP won a 2.75% pay raise last year, after the budget was approved. FY23 police budget is up $23.7 million from FY22 police Gen. Fund spending, but it is up **$52.4 million** from last year's approved police budget of $729 MM.

Please RSVP and read the rules for the event. See you there!

Most of those in PA jails are held pretrial and are jailed simply because they cannot afford bail. Bail funds and church groups are often their only hope.

This law will kill community bail funds as we know them. Get the word out to your friends and family around the state
