    The Suffolk County PBA joins the law enforcement community in mourning the loss of Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department Deputy Sheriff Terrian Bailey, who was shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a disturbance near a convenience store off Highway 18 in Hermanville.


    This Labor Day, the Suffolk County PBA proudly recognizes the hardworking men and women who serve and strengthen our communities, especially the police officers who put on the uniform each day to protect the people of Suffolk County. We honor the importance of organized labor and standing together for those who serve our communities.


    The Suffolk County PBA mourns the line-of-duty death of Warm Springs Police Sergeant Chris Fisher, who was shot and killed while sitting in his patrol vehicle after completing a traffic stop. The suspect fled the scene and was later located in South Carolina suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.


    The Suffolk County PBA mourns the line-of-duty death of Columbia Police Officer Christopher DeLong Jr., who was shot and killed while responding to a domestic disturbance. Officer DeLong had initially responded to a report of property damage stemming from a domestic dispute.


    The Suffolk County PBA was proud to once again join Rep. Andrew Garbarino for his annual Back to School event, helping more than 1,200 Long Island families prepare for the upcoming school year. Alongside the Bay Shore Fire Department and community partners, our members helped distribute backpacks, school supplies, and other resources to students and families throughout the community.

    Episode 80:

    In Episode 80, CJ and Tanner are joined by James Gruenfelder, President of the Suffolk County Police Superior Officers Association. James joined the Suffolk County Police Department in 1991 and steadily rose through the ranks, ultimately attaining the rank of Lieutenant. Early in his career, he recognized the importance of union involvement and advocating for his fellow officers, eventually becoming President of the SOA in 2020.

    Beyond his leadership with the SOA, James serves as a board member of the Brotherhood for the Fallen and the Steuben Association. Tune in as we discuss his journey through the Suffolk County Police Department, his path to union leadership, and the experiences that have shaped his career and continued commitment to law enforcement.

    IMPORTANT UPDATE ON REAL PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTION FOR SPOUSES OF POLICE OFFICERS KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY 

    New York State has passed a law, sponsored by Senator Monica Martinez, offering a 50% property tax reduction for surviving spouses of fallen police officers. Implementation is optional for local municipalities.

    Below is an updated list of counties, cities, towns, and villages, along with their current status in the process. We also encourage spouses to contact their local school districts to ensure they are aware of the program and can opt in.

    Please note that the NYS taxable status date is March 2nd, so action should be taken by then unless an extension is granted.
