CFPBA WINS 5 Year Battle With CRB!
Wednesday, 01 July 2009
After extensive discussion with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) and the Central Florida PBA (CFPBA) leaders, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) voted on June 30, 2009 NOT to appeal to the Florida Supreme Court regarding the 5th DCA’s recent ruling about the Citizen’s Review Board (CRB) being unconstitutional in their pursuit of subpoena and investigative powers. Four county leaders voted for a newly designed CRB that respects the Constitutionality of the Sheriff and abides by the LEO Bill of Rights. Three county leaders voted to respect the 5th DCA’s ruling and take no further action. On several occasions, the PBA and CFPBA were noted as an incredibly powerful law enforcement union that provided input leading to this good decision. In summary, this is an overwhelming vote to restrict or remove the CRB.

I thank all those involved in this major victory for Orange County deputies and members of the CFPBA. Specifically, special thanks to CFPBA attorney Stewart Cohen, CFPBA leaders Marty Premo and Mike Smith, OCSO Sheriff Jerry Demings and his staff attorney Eric Dunlap.

PBA Brings Stop to CRB Investigations
Monday, 01 June 2009

 

On May 29, 2009 the Fifth District Court of Appeal brought an end to investigations of alleged police misconduct by the Orange County Citizens Review Board finding that such investigations were unconstitutional and in direct conflict with the Law Enforcement Officers’ Bill of Rights. The decision, Demings v. Orange County Citizens Review Board, was the result of a lawsuit filed by the Florida PBA on behalf of an Orange County deputy sheriff who was subpoenaed to testify before the review board which was investigating him, even though he had been already been cleared of any misconduct charges by the Sheriff’s Office.

Governor Charlie Crist Vetoes State Employees' Salary Reduction

Governor Charlie Crist signed the 2009-2010 Budget into law today, but not before vetoing the salary reductions to state employees. The Legislature delivered a budget to him that unfairly reduced salaries for employees earning over $45,000 per year and who did not work for the state university system. After multiple meetings with the Governor and his staff to make PBA's case for a veto, he agreed with PBA President John Rivera and PBA Executive Director David Murrell that reducing those salaries was unfair to hardworking loyal state employees. Governor Crist issued his veto order just before noon on Wednesday, May 27, 2009.

We are thankful to Governor Crist for his continued support of our causes and issues. Once again, he has shown that he is truly a friend of law enforcement, correctional and correctional probation officers.

The Florida Police Benevolent Association put the House of Representatives on notice
today that it will oppose the proposed pay cuts in the budget.

Florida PBA testified in opposition to the 4% in salary reductions for state law
enforcement, correctional and correctional probation officers contained in the House

Now we need your help to drive this point home to the Legislature. Starting tomorrow,
Legislators will be back in their home districts for the Passover/Easter Break. Please
take the time to call and e-mail the Legislators in your area on the list below and express
your concern with this budget proposal. As always, be professional, but make your point
clear –
DO NOT CUT THE SALARIES AND POSITIONS OF PUBLIC SAFETY!
