Latest President's Message
Congratulations to our most recent retirees, and thank you for all that you have done for the City of Buffalo. PO's George Wagner, Douglas Hayden, Patrick Baggott. Lieutenants Ronny Blatchford and Frank Guevara. Detective Scott Malec. Enjoy your much-deserved retirements. God Bless.
Congratulations to Michael J Keane on his swearing in as District Attorney of Erie County, NY. The PBA looks forward to the next 4 years, in which it is our hope that criminals will be held accountable for their crimes, especially here in the City of Buffalo. It is also our hope that there will be a crackdown on Defense Attorneys and Criminals working together to make baseless claims against our officers in an attempt to circumvent and manipulate the criminal justice system. Good luck to DA Keane and our fantastic officers. We hope to work together to keep the City of Buffalo safe!
