A Message from our President
Welcome to the Ocean City Policemen's Benevolent Association Local # 61's official website. For those of you that are not familiar with our organization, let me tell you about us.
Our PBA has two basic functions. One function that most people are aware of is that of a philanthropic organization. Our members are committed to serving the community of Ocean City and its residents through charitable works and donations. Over the years, our PBA has donated to many different events that support research for serious medical conditions, as well as events that support those with individual financial or medical needs.
Our PBA's annual scholarship program provides $7000.00 worth of scholarships to graduating seniors from the Ocean City High School. We also sponsor youth sports and community groups in Ocean City, Upper Township, Sea Isle City, as well as some Atlantic County sports teams and organizations. Our PBA conducts a Christmas program every year for our local public and parochial school systems and some needy families within the city. We deliver gifts to the families and have Santa at the schools when the children receive their gifts just before Christmas.
Our main fundraisers are the annual PBA letter drive, and our famous annual PBA Golf Tournament, which seems to get more popular each year. These events allow us to continue with our charitable efforts and they are funded by the very generous donations made by the residents of Ocean City and Upper Township, and the Ocean City business community.
The PBA's lesser known function is that of the Labor Union. Our PBA represents the police officers who are dedicated to the service of this Community. We are the sole and exclusive negotiating representative for the full time Ocean City police officers. We represent the officers in contract negotiations, grievances, and in matters pertaining to work conditions and officer safety. The Union works diligently to ensure that its members are fairly compensated, and given the support, training and equipment needed to do their job efficiently and effectively. The labor-related activities of the PBA are funded by the annual dues paid by our members.
The Ocean City PBA has worked successfully with the Mayor, the City Administration and the City Council to resolve issues that have arisen in the past. We hope to continue to have a good working relationship and strive to achieve our primary goal, which is to make Ocean City a better place to live and work.
The Ocean City PBA and its membership look forward to serving the community of the City of Ocean City in the future and thank all the residents, businesses and visitors of our City, who make our activities possible through their generous support.
Fraternally yours,
David W. Fletcher, President
