PBA is looking for a few good members to research uniforms

Several months ago, Sheriff Demings created a Uniform Committee consisting of sworn agency managers, rank and file bargaining unit members, local Orange County citizens, and leaders of the Central Florida PBA.  This committee specifically addressed the Class-C (shorts) uniform and in part, whether or not to continue to authorize School Resource Officers (SRO) and the Uniform Patrol Division Deputies (UPD) to continue wearing the Class-C uniform, on duty or while working in an off duty employment capacity.

The PBA filed a ULP against the OCSO to provide a legal challenge regarding our loss of merit pay increases and changes to our health insurance plans that negatively affect our OCSO bargaining unit members and did not abide by our PBA contract.

Recently, the Public Employees Relation Commission (PERC) ruled that our ULP was sufficient and now the OCSO must respond to the charges.
Remember, this ULP process is a marathon, not a sprint so please be patient and stay "accurately informed" by visiting our website regularly or speak directly to PBA leaders.
