Thanks for asking!

Please come to our web site http://www.tampapba.org to find the answers to your questions.

Thanks for your response and your comments. Positive feedback is always appreciated.

Obviously, you are talking about two separate issues here today; the Sergeant’ Test and Contract Negotiations. As far as the test goes, it was administered on September 20, eight days ago. If any of...

I could not agree with you more. It is amazing that you are here with wrong facts, while preaching to others about the very same thing. The moment the PBA was aware that Sean's former wife was...

I entered DROP in September, so I would not be eligible to buy any time as I understand it. Thanks for asking.

I am proud to represent our officers. Thank you for the opportunity. The entire Buy Back Bill is on the front page of our web site, www.tampapba.org

Have a great New Year!
