ACOIN Executive Director Brian Dawe has been nationally recognized for his work on private prisons. He has spoken before the Canadian Parliament, at the Minnesota School of Law and Yale University as well as numerous conferences and rallies.

Yesterday, Mr. Dawe spoke with Brian "Bulldog" Tilton of 107.7 WTPL 'The Pulse' to discuss recent RFP requests for private jail systems in New Hampshire. Mr. Dawe confirms what we already know: privatization of prisons simply does not work and puts needless peoples in jeopardy with low security standards.

Dear New England Police Benevolent Association members,

I am inviting you to a Telephone Town Hall meeting next Monday, January 23^rd, from 6:00pm to 7:00pm to talk about what legislators in Concord are doing with your pension and your retirement.  After passing legislation last year to take more money out of your pay checks, some legislators have now set their sights on dismantling the pension system entirely.

I also want to share what the NEPBA and the New Hampshire Retirement Security Coalition are doing to protect your retirement.  The telephone town hall allows you to connect with organization and union leaders, and ask questions about this critical pension fight. There is no fee to participate in this call. Just register here to sign up for the event.  If you register, you will receive a call at home or on your cell phone at 6:00 PM on Monday, January 23^rd, to participate in the Town Hall meeting.

You can play an integral role in fighting back against the attacks on your pension and your retirement.  Next Monday night will be an important opportunity to share the latest information, spur conversation and increase participation in this critical fight.

Use this link to register for the call.  

I look forward to talking to you next Monday night, around 6:00 pm. Please RSVP as soon as possible.

Fraternally yours,

Steve Arnold

The New England Police Benevolent Association is proud to announce that the Chelsea Police Superior Officers Association has signed an affiliation agreement with the organization.  After one meeting with the NEPBA leadership team, the CPSOA decided to have an election to determine if the membership would like to affiliate with fastest growing law enforcement labor organization in New England.  The election took place one week after the initial meeting, and with a unanimous vote of the CPSOA elected to affiliate with NEPBA.  All of us at NEBPA welcome the men and women from Chelsea Police Superior Officers Association.

NEPBA Executive Director Jerry Flynn called the election, “a great day for the hard working and dedicated members of the Chelsea Police Superior Officers Association, who clearly want to be represented by a law enforcement union who respects and understands the needs of police officers.”

NEPBA State Director Sean R. McArdle stated, “We are extremely proud to be representing the men and women of the Chelsea Police Superior Officers Association and our organization is looking forward to providing them with the exceptional services and superior representation they so deserve.”
