Five Unions overwhelmingly elect C.O.P.S.
C.O.P.S. becomes the new choice for Public Safety Personnel

Election ballots were opened and counted at the State labor Board on Thursday August 4th 2005.
As a result of the elections, C.O.P.S. clearly established that they are the member’s choice for Union representation.

Five public safety unions from around the state had their votes counted, and voices heard, when the State Labor announced C.O.P.S as their new Bargaining agent. The Fairfield Police Department, Stonington Police Department, North Branford Police Department, as well as 911 Telecommunications Technicians from Branford and Clinton, are now new members of C.O.P.S.
Executive Director Ronald Suraci and Union Representative Kevin Potter attended the counting of the Ballots.

This is another positive step in the right direction towards making C.O.P.S. the leader in the representation of public safety personnel. C.O.P.S firmly believes in a member’s right to choose their representatives.

C.O.P.S. overwhelming defeated the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO) SEIU, and the Connecticut Independent labor Union (CILU) in the five elections.

All of us here at C.O.P.S. thank you for your support. We will continue to strive to make your Union the best in the state. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated in the elections and for showing your support for C.O.P.S over the past several months.

Thank you,

Fraternally yours,

C.O.P.S. Union Representatives
and
Ronald E. Suraci, Executive Director
