🚨 BREAKING NEWS!🚨

COBA VICTORY IN ALBANY!

In one of the biggest legislative victories for NYC Correction Officers over the past ten years, COBA has restored the 20-year service retirement benefit for every single COBA Member hired after April 1, 2012, through an agreement reached in the New York State Budget.

COBA President Benny Boscio and Legislative Chairman Daniel Monaco spearheaded a vigorous lobbying campaign to get this critical legislation a “Home Rule Message” from the New York City Council, passage in both the NY State Assembly and the NY State Senate and finally passed in the NY State Budget. This extensive effort required countless trips to Albany and many meetings with legislative leaders at both the city and state levels.

We thank Governor Kathy Hochul, the Bill’s sponsors- Assembly Member Stacy Pheffer Amato, Senator Robert Jackson as well as Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart Cousins, Members of the NYS Assembly & NYS Senate.

We also thank NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, DOC Commissioner Stanley Richards for their support, and all the members of the NYC Council, who voted unanimously to support this Bill.

Our flag waves with pride today because of the lives laid down to protect it.

Remember and Honor them.

God Bless America,

In 1962, President Kennedy proclaimed May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day.

Today, we honor and remember the courageous men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. We stand united with their families and loved ones, cherishing their legacy and unwavering commitment to safeguarding our communities.

The Grand Council of United Emerald Societies was established in 1956 and underwent a reorganization in 1975. Among our 28 affiliated organizations, 18 are Law Enforcement Emerald Societies.

Fraternally,
