Dear Asm. Green:

On behalf of the 33,000 members of the New Jersey State Policeman’s Benevolent Association, it is my pleasure to inform you that our membership has endorsed your candidacy for the New Jersey General Assembly.

Law enforcement officers face many challenges, and we have turned to the Legislature many times to ensure that the men and women who serve our communities are provided with protections for the risks they face on the job. The members of the State PBA are particularly grateful for your support to provide widow’s benefits to officers who are killed overseas while serving our nation while in the military, for protecting officers from secret monitoring of their locations via GPS and for ensuring that the disciplinary process for officers is both fair and timely. Law enforcement is the first priority of government and you have demonstrated many times that you support the New Jersey State PBA, our members and our goals.

I am sure you are aware that the economy has had a negative impact on law enforcement officers. While crime rises in the State many towns are laying off police officers. We hope to rely on your continued support as we work through these difficult times to safeguard officers and the public in every part of our State.

The New Jersey State PBA is pleased to endorse your candidacy for General Assembly and we look forward to continuing to develop our successful relationship in the future.


Sincerely,

Anthony F. Wieners
State President
NJ State Policemen’s Benevolent Association, Inc.

c: Robert A. Nixon, Director of Government Affairs, New Jersey State PBA
