Web Site Launched
The New York State Harbormaster & Bay Constable Association launched its web site
on February 21, 2005. The purpose of the site is to provide important information to the
membership almost instantaneously and to let the general public learn about the local
marine law enforcement departments that make up our association.

Thanks for visiting.

Suffolk County Civil Service Exam For:
25th Anniversary
National Peace Officer's Memorial
1982-2006
Officers Memorial Day and the week in which
that date falls is now officially recognized as
“Police Week”. Every year since, tens of
thousands of law enforcement officers from
around the world converge on Washington, DC
to participate in a number of planned events
honoring the men and women whom lost their
lives in service to their communities.

The first official memorial service took place on
May 15, 1982. On that date, approximately 125
people gathered in Senate Park to honor 91
law enforcement officers. Over the past 22
years we have honored over 3,000 law
enforcement officers from around our nation.

Today, the National Peace Officers’ Memorial
Service has become one in a series of events
which includes the Candlelight Vigil, which is
sponsored by the National Law Enforcement
Officers Memorial Fund and seminars
sponsored by Concerns of Police Survivors.

The Grand Lodge of the Fraternal Order of
Police and the Grand Lodge Auxiliary of the
Fraternal Order of Police are very proud to be
the official sponsor of the Memorial
Service.

As we reflect over the past twenty-five years, we
can be proud of how the
FOP has made this
annual service such a prominent event.
We Remember....

NYSHBCA and FBI Join Forces

New York State Harbormaster & Bay Constable Association and The Federal Bureau of
Investigation's Melville branch, have recently formed a "Networking" relationship.
Northport Harbormaster Tony Graziano, a retired Nassau County Police Officer who has
worked in the Homeland Security Department, is credited with forming this new
relationship. This will enable our members who work at various law enforcement
departments throughout lower New York State to easily contact FBI officials to share
intelligence on suspicious activity and counter-terrorism efforts in our local waterways.
This is in addition to our network with the United States Coast Guard, which is part of
the Homeland Security Department.  NYSHBCA is continually expanding its resources
to help its members to better protect and serve our communities.
