STATEWIDE COALITION BRIEF
Labor, law enforcement, sheriffs, fire, EMS, elected leaders, municipalities, and community organizations are asking New York to recognize the people behind every call for help.
ONE REQUEST, MANY VOICES
The support record now reaches across the people who answer 911 calls, the responders who depend on them, the unions that represent public employees, and the communities that depend on a stable emergency communications workforce.
The Police Conference of New York issued a formal memorandum supporting S.7635B/A.9162A. PCNY describes itself as New York's largest police organization, bringing together hundreds of police unions and groups representing more than 50,000 professional police officers.

Review the elected and municipal letters →THE REQUEST
A.9162A/S.7635B does not force any locality to adopt a new retirement plan. It creates an optional path. A public employer would have to obtain the required cost information and elect coverage under the law.
Supporters are asking Governor Hochul to support and sign the measure when it reaches her desk. They are also asking New Yorkers to send a personal letter so the people who answer every emergency call are not overlooked.
Every organization and public name shown in the campaign's support record is backed by verified evidence and documented public-use permission. Affiliations listed in a supporter's letter are not treated as separate endorsements.
