Rockland County Shields

On Friday, January 16th, I attended the Rockland County Police Academy Graduation ceremony.
Congratulations to all the new police officers. Welcome to the family!
Be vigilant, wear your vest, and go home after each tour.

Calling all members from the 1960s and 1970s.
The Shields has 70 members who joined before 1980.
We are looking for newsletters from the early days.
We would like to scan your vintage newsletters (they will be returned) and add them to the “Archives” section of our website.

Dues Notices for 2026 have been mailed out. Please send in dues payments ASAP so we can get those membership cards out.
To those who have already sent in dues payments – we thank you for your prompt response.
Do you use “Zelle”?
Dues can be sent to: PayRocklandShields@gmail.com
