In Loving Memory of Charles "Charlie" W. Maddox
Jun 27, 2019
Charlie Maddox recognized early on in his career that there was great need for law enforcement officers to join together and to speak collectively to their elected leaders and decision makers. He knew that political activity was key for improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers. He developed a professional screening and endorsement process which has been utilized for decades as the framework for PBA and which has served as a successful forum for law enforcement officers to interact with and educate elected leaders regarding the needs of law enforcement officers.
In 1987, the Southern States PBA was incorporated with Charlie Maddox as president. He served in that capacity until 1991, and he authorized the implementation of the PBA concept throughout the Southeast.
Since 1991, Charlie Maddox served on the SSPBA Board of Directors as past president. His experience, knowledge and advice have been instrumental in the history of Southern States PBA and in advancing the cause of law enforcement officers.
