JOHNSON CITY POLICE UNION

 The purpose of the Police Association is to be a fraternal organization that provides support for all of its members.  The organization is designed to aid its members in the pursuit of their organizational goals. The Police Association also promotes and assists with maintaining professionalism on the part of its members as well as promoting awareness by the general public regarding the role and function of its members to the community.  

Additionally, the Police Union contributes to many non-profit organizations in the community supporting their efforts and striving to make our area a better place to live, work and enjoy. 

The Johnson City Police Association is made of five (5) elected board members who are nominated and voted on by the membership of the Police Association.  Each board member serves a two (2) year term, with no term limits.  

The current list of Board Members can be found at the bottom of this page

The Johnson City Police Association is affiliated with the International Union of Police Associations and the New York State Union of Police Associations.  This union affiliation provides union members with advice on collective bargaining, grievance procedures, disciplinary issues and day to day legal advice.
