(January 24, 2020) – “Members of the law enforcement community throughout the South stand united with our fellow officers in Virginia in opposition to Governor Ralph Northam’s gun confiscation scheme.  We know that a well-armed, well-trained, law-abiding citizen is our best friend.  And these are exactly the people New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg and Governor Ralph Northam want to disarm.” - Sean McGowan, Southern States Police Benevolent Association

 

The Southern States Police Benevolent Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit professional organization dedicated to improving the law enforcement profession.  PBA members are full-time or retired employees of the various federal, state, county and municipal law enforcement and correctional agencies.  This professional association, funded by membership dues and citizen contributions, provides legal, legislative, disciplinary and other representation to member officers as well as a salary replacement death benefit to members’ beneficiaries.  The PBA prohibits members from engaging in or condoning any strike by law enforcement officers, electing instead to represent members through aggressive political action.
