I was reading a recent article in Force Science News titled “Veteran Attorney Cites 10 Ways to Lose Police Lawsuits.” Obviously, the subject matter piqued my curiosity.

Over the past few months Bill Trollinger and I have received a number of questions from our retirees about their retirement compensation. We have received phone calls, text messages and emails inquiring about various issues in their monthly payments.

Recently, a long time Fresno police officer left the department before the age of 50.

As I write this article, I had just been copied in on several emails between the Chief, the Mayor and the City Manager discussing a particularly violent weekend we had.

With 2018 underway we enter into a new election cycle and what is sure to be a busy season for the FPOA.

Let me begin by saying THANK YOU for your leadership, sacrifice and the creativity you have shown in each of your respective roles. You are appreciated.
