Observers of the 2023 vote count, flanked by Derek Jackson (l) Director of Local 237’s Law Enforcement Division and Donald Arnold (r) Secretary Treasurer and Director of the Citywide Division. Present but not pictured was Curtis Scott, Executive Board Trustee and Citywide Business Agent.
Local 237 Peace Officers put their lives on the line each and every day to keep our City’s schools, colleges, hospitals, agencies and streets safe. We demand that the City recognize our sacrifices by listening and responding to our needs. That is why Local 237 fought for, and won, separate contracts for Peace Officers from those of our Citywide civilian members.
Certified Peace Officer’s duties are far more similar to uniformed services than civilian employees. It is a part of our jobs to make arrests, carry out searches, use physical force and take custody of firearms. Previously, we had the same contract as city workers without law enforcement duties, and our specific needs are not addressed in the negotiation process.
By creating a separate bargaining unit for Local 237 Peace Officer titles, we can now concentrate on our issues – proper equipment, sick and disability leave, pensions and inadequate pay – directly at the table. With a separate bargaining unit, we benefit from the strength, experience and unity of all Local 237 Peace officers. This is how we created separate bargaining units for all Local 237 Peace Officers:
- Passed a City law (and over-rode the Mayor’s Veto) to give School Safety Agents, Taxi and Limousine Inspectors, Juvenile Justice Officers and Peace Officers employed in the departments of Juvenile Justice, Homeless Services and Administration for Children’s Services uniformed status. The law was challenged by the Mayor, but we won the right in the Courts.
- At the State level, we fought to get Peace Officers separate contracts from Citywide civilian titles.
