“OPEN TO ALL”
"NJ Residence"
The NJ Senate approved a one-gun-a-month purchase for NJ residents. The vote was 21-15. NJ has the strictest gun control laws in the Country followed by Massachusetts and Maryland. The Assembly also passed the bill a few months ago. Governor Corzine has agreed however to form a committee (task force) that will examine the laws impact on crime. This panel will also write and exclusion in the law that could lead to exempt gun collectors and competitive and recreation shooters from the law. A Collector would have to most probably list their collectibles and it may be a good idea to join a gun club or collector club. To date, four other States have this law.

Screening Officers at the Berlin-Tegel Airport discovered a gun while working a checkpoint. X-ray and physical inspections were conducted and revealed a fully functional weapon that had been concealed inside a Delta Hand Drill. To minimize detection during X-ray examination the gun had been wrapped in cotton to diminish shifting and several metal washers had also been placed within the casing to mask the outline of the weapon. The passenger was arrested and will face charges.

NYNJ PARDA & Signal 8-2 West Members
Many of our members have inquired on how to obtain a new retired detectives shield and retired I.D. card. Sgt. Prospero was kind enough to respond with the following procedure:
Retired I.D. cards can be replaced by either contacting Sgt. Prospero and arranging for a new picture to be taken or in some circumstances the retiree can email him a current passport type photo, and he will mail you a new card. However, sometimes the email photo does not upload well into the I.D. program.
Replacement shields have to be authorized by the Superintendent of Police or his designee, usually due to the original being lost or stolen. The circumstances surrounding the request have to include any police reports, filed as a result of the loss or theft. Retirees are allowed a one-time replacement and the fee is $150.00. The price of the material For-retired shields has gone up drastically in the last 2 years.

The RPA (Retired Police Association of the State of New York)
has been trying to negotiate for our PAPD members to obtain a
"Medicare Part B Reimbursement"

Attention Port Authority Police Retirees
RPA Efforts To Secure Medicare Reimbursement
For Port Authority Police Retirees
By: Ed Curran, RPA President & Newsletter Editor
As has been previously reported at RPA meetings and in various editions of the RPA Newsletter, at the request of several Port Authority RPA members, I, along with the support and assistance of the following Port Authority RPA members, 2nd VP Mike Ferranola, Steve Brown, Marty Dunn and Artie Sweet, have been attempting to convince the Port Authority of NY and NJ, that Port Authority Police retirees, are as deserving of being reimbursed for their Medicare Health Insurance Payments, just as most police retirees throughout New York State are reimbursed.
These efforts include various items of correspondence by myself and Marty Dunn, to and from the Port Authority of NY and NJ and the various Port Authority police unions.
The response from the Port Authority Executive Directors has been: "Benefits are required to be negotiated. Since the Medicare Part B Premium reimbursement benefit is not part of the memorandum of Understanding, it cannot be offered to the Port Authority Police retirees."
My note: We do not agree with the response.
Thanks to the efforts of RPA member Jerry Barnickle (PAPD) these various items of correspondence and other related information, have been posted on ten pages of the website of Port Authority Signal 8-2
Any suggestions or information which would assist us in our efforts to further this matter would be appreciated". e-mail us: Buckslip@prodigy.net
As reported in the March and April newsletters, as a result of the objections of certain active police and fire unions, to retired police and fire retirees being included in health insurance protection legislation, Legislators in 2003 and now again in 2004, drafted health insurance protection legislation for civilian public retirees only, thereby excluding police and fire retirees from this protection (S4986 in 2003, S6150 in 2004). A complete up to date on the bills can be found in the latest issue of the RPA newsletter.
There has been no response from the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as to re-reimbursement for Medicare payments for retired members of the PAPD. We are still awaiting a response from the PA from our last request that members of the PAPD receive reimbursement payments.
Please click on the link below to review the correspondence and help us make this become a reality!
