Watch SBA President Vincent Vallelong on @FoxNews talking about the politicization of law enforcement after the ICE-involved shooting last week. This could've been avoided if politicians respected and worked with law enforcement.

SBA President Vincent Vallelong joined @JCats2013 and @RitaCosby last night on @77WABCradio to call out the politicians like @DarializaforNY who are angry at the ICE Shooting of a criminal in NYC, but not about the crime in the communities they represent.

Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Navy.

Since 1775, generations of Sailors have served our nation at home and around the world. We extend our respect and gratitude to our Sergeants and fellow members of the NYPD who have served in the Navy, along with all who have worn the uniform.

Happy Birthday, U.S. Navy.

This past week was about remembering the lives behind the uniform and standing with the families who continue to carry their loss.

At the 4th Annual New York Blue R.O.S.E. Suicide Mass, members of the NYPD came together with families to honor officers lost to suicide — remembering them for how they lived, not how they died.

That same spirit of remembrance continued on Staten Island, where Police Officer Colin Patrick Rossiter was honored with the co-naming of Police Officer Colin Patrick Rossiter Way. Colin’s father, retired NYPD Sergeant Keith Rossiter, joined family, friends and members of the Department in keeping his memory and legacy alive.

To every family affected by these losses, you remain part of our police family and you are not forgotten.
