President’s Message

It’s with great pride and enthusiasm that our new Board of Officers took the helm of the DEA this July of 2024.

As the new DEA President, I want to express my appreciation for the support our Board Officers have received from both our active and retired members.

We vow to fight hard for the benefits, and labor and legal rights our hardworking members deserve. With dedication, honesty, and integrity, we will fight for what is right, just, and fair for all of our members.

We also want to make sure the voices of our members, both active and retired, are heard. We want to hear from you, and will continue to be proactive in soliciting your opinions on matters that range from Police Department policy, to City, State, and federal politics and legislation, to our public relations and social media efforts, to our fraternal functions. If there is something you feel we should be doing differently or can be doing better — whether it’s with regards to your health benefits or the operations of the union — we want to know! We’ll be looking forward to your active involvement in all union matters.

In the interim, we wish you a happy, healthy, and safe  summer. We hope you will get the chance to stop by our DEA Canteen truck at the City’s various detail.

It is, and will continue to be, our great privilege to represent you: “The Greatest Detectives in the World.” Please take all precautions and stay safe.

Fraternally,
