Port Authority Police officers cover a wide array of responsibilities. Our officers must be prepared to engage a terrorist target at a moment’s notice while having the grace to respectfully connect with a runaway child.

The Port Authority PBA thanks the men and women of our nation’s Armed Forces for their courage and commitment for going into harm's way to protect the American people and our way of life. The PBA also expresses its gratitude to Port Authority police officers who continue to serve as members of military Reserve and National Guard Units.

Congresswoman Laura Gillen (D-NY-04) and Congressman John Rutherford (R-FL-05) introduced bipartisan legislation to address law enforcement officer mental health issues. The legislation, titled "The Officer Wellness and Peer Support Act," is intended to "identify barriers to mental health support for law enforcement officers across the country, "according to a press release from Gillen and Rutherford.
The Port Authority PBA supports and recognizes the efforts of Congresswoman Gillen and Congressman Rutherford. Port Authority PBA President Frank Conti said, "On behalf of the Executive Board and the entire Membership of the Port Authority Police Benevolent Association, I truly appreciate and respect Congresswoman Gillen's recognition of not only the work that police officers do nationwide on a daily basis, but the inevitable associated costs and consequences incurred by those who choose this profession.
