NY has never been worse off than with this current administration. This state is no longer the safe and majestic place it once was. In the past people flocked to NY to fulfill their dreams. Now they leave in droves to hold onto what they have left. @GovKathyHochul@pbanystate
@GovKathyHochul, the #ForestRangers & the #EnConPolice at @NYSDEC desperately need your support now. Not only do they need increased staffing to ensure that they can continue saving lives, but they need their pension equity bill enacted to help with recruitment & retention.
.@NYSDEC@pbanystate last week ECO Hull seized a live 13’2” 80lb albino Burmese python from a home in Utica. The owner was issued tickets for possession of dangerous wildlife w/o a permit. In the wild they do eat humans and can grow over 20ft long!
Yesterday our members paid their respects to SPD Officer Michael Jensen. Listening to his friends, loved ones and peers speak of him, left a lasting impression on every officer lining the streets. We thank you for your sacrifice and will be forever grateful Officer Jensen.
Our Northern District SOG members spent two days this week practicing firearm proficiency. We’re very fortunate to have the caliber of instructors on this team that we have. Phenomenal instruction, drills and time management as always.
@WillABarclay Governor Hochul should have left our 20 year retirement bill in the budget for starters. Instead we will continue to lose good, well trained officers as well as applicants to the 97% of state agencies with a 20 year retirement. We used to have 10-15k applicants, now maybe 1-2k.
.@GovKathyHochul told the @pbanystate in her 2023 veto that the 20yr pension should be included in states budget. The assembly and senate both included the 20yr in their budgets. However Hochul refused to included it in the final budget. Does she hate cops or Env enforcement?
@TONYxTWO@rawsalerts Wrong part of NY.
Don’t undermine the sacrifice these two heroes made by referencing politics. These were two officers who continued to do their job despite how dangerous it has gotten in recent years. Their sacrifice is the only thing keeping similar crime from your doorstep.
With today's challenges in law enforcement as well as @pbanystate specialized skills and heightened demands, it's vital to offer competitive retirement benefits that recognize their profession.
This #NYSBudget lets ensures retention & maximizes taxpayers' investment.
Our team members often assist other agencies around the state. Yesterday, ECO Hull alongside DCJS’s EJ Weeks, instructed Defensive Tactics to the DHSES SWAT School in Oriskany.
