Retired Police Association of State of New York

The Retired Police Association of the State of New York Inc, representing 5000 retired Police Officers, who honorably served in the Cities, Towns, Counties, and Villages across the State of New York, today endorsed Donald J. Trump for President in the 2020 Presidential Election. The RPA gladly joins other Police Associations across America in support of President Trump who has been unwavering in his support for the men and women in law enforcement, who put their lives on the... line daily to protect each and every American citizen. Peaceful demonstrations were hijacked by domestic terror groups and professional anarchists resulting in assaults and injuries to hundreds of Police Officers, innocent civilians, and business owners across America. This must stop and President Trump is the only Presidential candidate who has continuously expressed his willingness to help any city and town in need of assistance to restore law and order, and put an end to the lawlessness across the Nation. The riots and arson that has been going on for weeks was NEVER ONCE MENTIONED during the Democratic convention by their President or Vice President candidates. So the choice is clear. We encourage all RPA members, their families and the American voters to support law and order, and a return to safety on our streets, and re-elect for Donald J. Trump for President. Kevin D.

LAW ENFORCEMENT NEEDS YOUR HELP All friends, family, active, and retired SBA members must align together now more than at any time in history. I am asking each of you to participate in a Prayer March to Stop the Violence and Support Police on Wednesday, July 15, 2020. The SBA will be marching with clergy representatives from around the city. As you know, Bishops Seabrook, Jamison, Figueroa, and Claudio have had good working relationships with the SBA over the years. We must... take a stand and we must do it now. Our voice must be heard, and there is no better time for that than now. Contrary to what many political jackals would have you believe, the vast majority of New Yorkers of all colors and ethnicities support you. They appreciate your hard work and want to see you in their communities. Over the years I have cultivated important relationships with many highly respected members of the clergy many of whom we will be joining in the Power of Prayer March. The meeting location is Cadman Plaza Park in Brooklyn on Wednesday, July 15, at 0900 hours. Participants will march across the Brooklyn Bridge to City Hall, where our voice will be heard. By participating in this crucial event, we - the face of law enforcement and our allies are doing what our detractors are unwilling to do displaying a goodwill, earnest effort to promote the spirit of unity and inclusion during this critical time in our city. Please be there because your participation matters to your job, your family, and the many people we serve.

One of our member units, The Suffolk County SOA, is requesting that all members complete and mail the attached letter to the NYS Parole Board. Arthur Adinolfi is serving a life sentence for killing Suffolk County Police Sergeant Timothy Henck in 1995. Adinolfi is eligible for parole, and his parole hearing was supposed to have been conducted six months from now, but has been accelerated. Because of the acceleration of the hearing, letters must be received by the parole board... by Friday, May 22. We urge you to join us in expressing your opposition to the release of this cop-killer. Thank you! SORC T. Patterson C/O Fishkill Correctional Facility 18 Strack Drive Beacon, NY. 12508 May 15, 2020 RE: Parole Denial for Arthur Adinolfi: NYSDOC DIN #96A4871 Dear Members of the Parole Board, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the parole of Arthur Adinolfi, DIN # 96A4871 who was convicted to a life sentence for the murder of Suffolk County Police Sergeant Timothy J. Henck. Tim was 30 years old and left behind his wife, Kathleen, and his six-week-old daughter, Jennifer. On July 31, 1995, SOA member Sergeant Henck was working the 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. tour of duty in the Fifth Precinct in Patchogue. At approximately 12:45 a.m., a police officer observed a subject fleeing the scene of a burglary at a store in Bohemia. The subject fled in a van, and a motor vehicle pursuit ensued. Sergeant Henck was supervising the pursuit as it went westbound on the Long Island Expressway toward Huntington. Sergeant Henck, considering the safety of other officers and motorists, attempted to stop the van. The subject rammed his vehicle numerous times, sending it into an embankment on the Expressway near exit 52. Sergeant Henck was pinned in his patrol vehicle. When he was removed from his marked police car, officers performed CPR, and he was airlifted to Stony Brook University Hospital. On August 6, 1995, Sergeant Henck succumbed to his injuries. Sergeant Henck was violently murdered by then 37-year-old, career criminal Adinolfi. At the time of his death, Tim had just nine years of service. He was a family man who loved sports and photography. Such violence should not be rewarded with parole. I urge you to deny this parole and ensure that this violent felon remains in prison. Sincerely, Signature: __________________________________ Name: __________________________________ Address: __________________________________ __________________________________ __________________________________
