Welcome To The Rockland County Shields

This month there were many memorial services nationwide recalling the events of September 11, 2001.

It’s been twenty three years and the rebuilding continues.

Sadly, we are still losing first responders to the effects of hazardous materials at the World Trade Center site.   Always remember our fallen comrades.

Once again, we had an exceptional time at Clover Stadium watching the New York Boulders play on August 15^th.   It was a fine night for a ball game and we had great seats (in our VIP box).

Many thanks to Vice President John Pinto for another great job.

The weatherman provided perfect conditions for the LEOSA qualifications at the police range on September 4^th.   I saw quite a few bull’s eyes out there!

The range instructors and academy staff did an excellent job and we appreciate their dedication.

We are making arrangements for a range date in 2025 (maybe in May or June).

Thanks to Orangetown Trustee Dan Ryan for making the arrangements with the Academy.

Past President Christian Cortelli will be presenting the Shields Law Enforcement Awards at the General Membership Meeting on September 25^th.

We take this opportunity to recognize outstanding acts by police officers and civilians.

The General Membership Meeting on October 30^th will be Candidates Night.   Mark your calendar.   Anyone on the ballot in Rockland County will be invited to our meeting.

Due to IRS rules, the Rockland County Shields does not endorse or recommend candidates/propositions.   However, I urge all members to do their due diligence and determine if some career politicians need a career change.   This is an excellent opportunity to decide who gets your support (and also who doesn’t).

Take note who attends.   Remember what the incumbents have done for you during their terms in office.

CHOOSE CAREFULLY

See you at the Elks.
