We are committed to our membership and our profession.  We are the voice of the line level and first level supervisory police officer and detective.  Our primary goal is to act in the benefit of everyone who is a police officer working for our City.  We understand if we have an adversarial relationship with management that goal will be harder to achieve.  We recognize when working with management we come from two different sides on issues concerning our members; but it is our goal to work together to bring all issues to the forefront and try to resolve them.  We fully realize we will not always reach an understanding or resolution to problems that arise; but if we maintain a professional and business like respect for each other’s viewpoints the task will be easier.  Respect and face to face communication is essential to any relationship when problems arise.
