continue to be mailed to all members in good standing. In keeping with our
tradition of supporting our active BROTHER'S and SISTER'S our organization
will be recognizing outstanding POLICE OFFICER'S for the excellent job being
performed in the field. I have added the position of PUBLIC RELATION'S
COORDINATOR to the BOARD, to keep the membership , and the BOARD aware of
any issues affecting RETIREE'S benefits and any other subject that may

members and future members will always have a home base or virtual precinct
if you will, to get and give information for our members. We will be finding
partners to work with and as we can see we are reaching our to our "active "
brothers and sisters to let them know that we are proud of them and pray
that they are eligible to join our ranks in the future. To borrow a phrase
from another organization we are proud of our past, and have faith in our
future. Thanks to the Board and the membership we are within reaching
distance of our goals. I thank them, for the loyalty and work that they
perform everyday for our members. Be Safe.

WHO IS THE BROOKLYN STATEN ISLAND 10-13 AND WHAT
HAVE WE DONE? |
The Brooklyn & Staten Island 10-13 Association is an organization of retired
New York City Police Officers, of all ranks, including Police Officers of
the former Housing and Transit Police.
We are a Member Association of The National Association Of
Police Organizations, Inc. (NAPO) recognized by:
-
The Congress of The United States
- The Legislature of The State of New York
- The New York City Council
Representing the New
York State voting strength of members, relatives and friends of a nationwide
force.
In the mid 1980's,
"10-13's" existed, in New York and in different parts of the country
but served primarily as social gatherings. There existed a need to
geographically effect political strategies and at the same time allow more
gainful services to the membership.
The origin of this
"10-13", as with others, is to upgrade pension income, increase
welfare benefits and lobby for a permanent C.O.L.A., for all members regardless
of their date or type of retirement. This Organizations job is to defend
you and your family - against the economic erosion of your benefits.
None of our Officers
are salaried and all pay annual dues, sacrifice their time and provide for this
organization on a volunteer basis.
There are many
retired and active police officers who may not have heard of the "New York
10-13 Association, Brooklyn & Staten Island, Inc." or who have not yet
realized the importance of joining us and of supporting our goals. We exist for
the good of all retired and active police officers.
If you have recently
retired, the problem of a fixed pension system has not impacted on your present
financial cost of living status. However, this temporary feeling of
well-being will rapidly diminish in a few short years. Ask any member who
has been retired for only five years or more and you will quickly realize the
need for an organization that is solely dedicated to the present and future
needs of you and your family.
Our organization continue to grow, as does our political strength. This
political strength has been further established under "one banner", of
the National Association of Police Organizations, Inc., to effect the voting of
those in the legislature who support us and those who do not. We utilize a
system through friends and family, outside of New York State, by utilizing those
within the state, even if they were not police officers. This is done
through the "National Association of Police Organizations, Inc." .
The Brooklyn & Staten Island 10-13 Association has been responsible for
numerous pieces of legislation submitted on behalf of our retirees and
active members of the Department. One of the most important piece of
legislation which has been submitted is the "Irwin Rutman Public Safety
Officers Act" (Federal legislation) . This legislation will
provide the same benefits to the retiree, as it applies to an active member who
is killed in the line of duty. This bill will provide for the widows and
children of a retiree who is killed, while taking action to prevent the
commission of a crime. An additional aspect of this legislation will also
provide for that retiree who is permanently injured, in taking such action.
In either case, the retirees widow will receive the same benefits afforded to
the active member or if permanently injured , the retiree will be eligible
to receive an additional pension from the Federal government for any permanent
injuries received.
ACTIVE MEMBERS OF THE
N.Y.C.P.D: If you are presently still a member of the PD on active duty and
not retired, you may say; Why Join? Remember the saying on the
"tombstone"! "Where I am, some day you will be."
As such, the "10-13 Associations are your only protection you have at such
an "emotional time". We lost the "fraternalism" and
"camaraderie" in the job. In the "10-13" Associations, IT IS
STILL ALIVE AND WELL!
REMEMBERING PATROLMAN CARDILLO
