Stand United with UPOA on the Million Dollar Staircase!

Monday, May 5, 2025 | Albany, NY

The United Probation Officers Association (UPOA) is heading to Albany — and we need YOU to come with us!

We will be holding a press conference at 12:00 PM on the historic Million Dollar Staircase (3rd floor, New York State Capitol) to support Senate Bill S7148, sponsored by Senator Robert Jackson (District 31).

This critical bill establishes a heart disease presumption for certain members employed as Probation Officers, Supervising Probation Officers, and Probation Officer Trainees.

(Click here to read the bill.)

Following the press conference, we will meet with legislators to lobby for their support to add UPOA members to the Heart Bill.
