Chris Rykert, the newly-elected Brooklyn North Trustee, counts among his many accomplishments in eight years as a PBA delegate his service as the lead delegate in the ground-breaking Jan. 14, 2006, arbitration decision that found that the NYPD violated state labor law by imposing summons and arrest quotes in the 75 Pct. and penalizing officers who failed to meet them.

It was a great victory for the PBA and for this dedicated union leader who was appointed to NYPD in 1992 and assigned to the 75 in December of that year.

Chris was first assigned to 4-to-12 patrol, SNEU, midnight conditions, and midnight patrol.

He has been a delegate since 1999.

Married for six years, he and his wife Regina have a son, Christopher, 3 1/2.

I’m looking forward to representing Bronx police officers in particular and all my fellow cops in general,” says Gregory Manning, the borough’s newly-elected Financial Secretary. Greg vows “to work toward the goal of better pay for all New York City police officers.”

Appointed to the NYPD in July 1988, Greg was assigned to Field Training Unit 9 before joining the 46 Pct. in September of the following year.

He spent one year with the Bronx Anti-Narcotics Drive, a precursor to Operation Impact, two years on the 4-to-12 tour, and the rest of his time doing 12-to-8s.

He became an acting PBA delegate in 1996 and an official delegate the following year. He was elected Bronx Financial Secretary and began serving in that capacity July 1.

Before joining the NYPD, he served two years in the U.S. Army, from 1981-1983.

He married his wife, Christine, in 1988, and they have two children, a daughter, Kathryn, 17, and a son, Greg, Jr., 12.

Greg is a member of the Fraternal Order of Police.

Jim Finnegan, the newly elected Bronx Trustee, will bring a special passion to, in his words, “championing the rights of police officers suffering health problems” from working on the pit at Ground Zero. You see, he is one of them.

Jim has developed respiratory problems since participating in the 9/11 rescue-and-recovery effort, which he began doing on the very first day of the terrorist attacks.

He was appointed to the NYPD in July 1996 and assigned to patrol in the 47 Pct. In 1999, he was transferred to the Bronx Task Force, his present command. “On patrol at the task force I had the opportunity to make arrests in every command in the Bronx,” he says.

His PBA career began in 2002, when he became an alternate delegate. He was appointed an official delegate in April 2004 and elected to the position in January 2005. He has been very active on the PBA Law Committee.

The Emerald Society delegate in his command, he is also active in the Fraternal Order of Police and the Rock-land County Shields. He lives in Orange County with his wife, Shana, and their children, Madeline, 3, and Jim, Jr., 2.

By the way, the reason Jim Finnegan began working at Ground Zero almost immediately after the attacks is an ironic one: He happened to be at the Civilian Complain Review Board, in the shadow of the World Trade Center towers, responding to yet another bogus complaint filed by a perp. That’s another issue he plans to tackle in his new position on the PBA board.
