Our History

Serving and Advocating for Nassau County Police Officers Since 1928

The Nassau County Police Benevolent Association is dedicated to representing, protecting, and advancing the interests of its members.

We work tirelessly to safeguard workplace rights, enhance officer safety, and secure fair wages, benefits, and working conditions. Through strong advocacy and legislative action, we support policies that benefit law enforcement professionals while opposing measures that negatively impact the men and women who serve and protect Nassau County.
