We want to share an important letter sent today by Council Member Selvena Brooks-Powers, Chair of the City Council Committee on Criminal Justice, to Mayor Mamdani regarding the longstanding pay disparities affecting New York City Probation Officers and Supervising Probation Officers.

The Council Member’s letter highlights serious concerns regarding disparities in salary, overtime, and promotional opportunities within the Department of Probation, and urges the administration to work in good faith with the UPOA toward a fair resolution.

This letter is another example of how your union is working alongside elected officials who understand the vital role probation officers play in public safety and who are willing to stand with us in the fight for the pay, respect, and equity our members deserve.

We will continue advocating aggressively on your behalf, and pushing for the fairness and recognition that probation professionals deserve. Read Council Member Brooks-Powers Letter
