The city wants to force police to live in the city so they can have an officer on duty 24/7. Of course they don’t want to compensate the officers for this, they just want to impose it. Can a police officer have a day off ? Stokes/Kennedy bill does not take into consideration the police officers affected by their proposed legislation. Disappointing to say the least.

Thank you Jerry Hughes, n the Pegulas !!! Much appreciated!!!

This is the sad TRUTH regarding the police vehicles in the city of Buffalo. Our officers do not have enough vehicles to do their jobs! This puts lives of citizens and cops in danger.

To the public, please be alert when attending events at the KeyBank center. Due to a lack of police cars, officers will be directing traffic without the aid of a light bar/vehicle. Therefore, making the officer much more difficult to see. Please share as everyone’s safety is at risk!! Thank you!

How sweet is this? Buffalo police officers stopped by our friend Sebastian's house tonight and his mom said they have a wonderful visit! For those who don't know, Sebastian has terminal brain cancer and yet he stills keeps a smile on his face every single day. His family, friends, and even strangers...
