EXCELLENCE IN SERVICE SINCE 1928…
Who we are
Brief History
Founded on September 7th, 1928 and officially chartered on May 10th, 1956, PBA Local 50 proudly unites the sworn officers and retirees of eight Jersey-shore boroughs under one strong banner of professionalism, solidarity, and brotherhood. We are dedicated to safeguarding the rights, interests, and well-being of roughly 116 active members and 90 retired members, all while honoring nearly a century of unwavering commitment, shared sacrifice, and outstanding service to our communities.
OUR JURISDICTION
We proudly serve Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, Bradley Beach, Lake Como, Neptune City, Sea Girt, Spring Lake, and Spring Lake Heights—small towns linked by coastline, community spirit, and cooperative policing.
OUR WORK
PBA Local 50 and its members are committed to the betterment of the communities we serve. We work for the preservation of the high quality of life that the residents of our communities come to expect. This is done by apprehending those who commit criminal acts and reducing or eliminating problems in our communities which affect the quality of life. Our officers provide police service which is fair, unbiased, and respectful of the dignity of all. Our members serve our communities through all weather or natural disasters, at all times, and are the first responders to fires, accidents, medical emergencies, and crimes in progress.
PBA Local 50 is a labor union. The PBA represents the members in contract negotiations, grievances, and other matters pertaining to our work environment. The PBA works closely with the municipal administrators to see that our contracts are complied with and the members have a fair, unbiased, and safe workplace.
Since PBA 50 is made up of officers from eight towns here in the shore area of Monmouth County, officers build a great working relationship among each other. This is a great benefit since our boroughs are small and we often find ourselves working closely with other police departments in our local.
CHARITABLE COMMITMENT
Our Local is committed to serving our communities through charitable works and donations to charitable organizations.
