As you may all know, we have joined the Probation Departments throughout the state of New

York to amend the General Municipal Law 207-c which provides a payment of salary and

medical care for individuals who injured or become ill as the result of the performance of

their job. This law covers police officers, sheriff’s deputies and corrections officers – but

NOT most probation officers, who also are peace officers. Currently, Nassau County has

the only probation department in the state that is protected and under this law.

Please sign the petition and read the newsletter for directions on sending a letter to the listed

legislators in Albany.
