PBA REACTS TO FIRST BREATHALYZER TESTS
PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said: “The PBA is working
with the other police unions to challenge this unnecessary and
excessive policy. This is a perfect example of members of
the service returning fire when fired upon, which policy clearly
allows, and yet, they are being treated as if their actions were
reckless. Aside from the fact that we believe that this policy
is the subject of bargaining, there is absolutely no reason to
submit these courageous detectives to such a test because they
were working within the parameters of policy and within the scope
of their job. They should be receiving praise and commendations
not alcohol testing.”
