Welcome To The Rockland County Shields

**The Rockland County Law Enforcement Memorial will be held on SATURDAY, May 18^th, at 11:00 AM, in front of the court house on Main Street in New City.

Please note the date change.  The ceremony was previously held on a Sunday.  It has now been moved to SATURDAY.

**Sadly, the NYPD lost a hero officer in March.  Officer Jonathan Diller (posthumously promoted to Detective 1) was shot on March 25.  We watch politicians point fingers and assign blame, but none will take responsibility.  How did we get here?

Remember this come November.  Remember what was promised and compare it to what we have.  Choose carefully who gets your vote.

**There will be a NARCAN training session immediately preceding the April General Membership Meeting.  It will start at 5:00 PM in the main room at the Haverstraw Elks.  This FREE training takes about 1 hour.  Participants will receive a card to verify training and an emergency NARCAN package.

**LEOSA (aka HR 218) – Members wishing to qualify under the provisions of LEOSA can sign up at the General Membership Meetings (April, May, or June).  The Rockland Police Academy has assigned the Shields a range date of Wednesday, September 4.  We will start at 8:00 AM.  Participants must present a valid pistol license and valid retired identification.

Participants must complete all required forms at a General Membership Meeting (April, May, or June) and submit the required $40 fee.  A notary will be available at the meetings to complete the Affidavit.  Participants must provide their own ammunition, eye protection, and hearing protection.  Coffee and donuts will be served.

**If you haven’t been to a meeting in a while – there was never a better time to stop in.  Everyone knows that the best part of the evening is the food (and catching up with friends).  Well, we added coffee and cake!  It doesn’t get better than that.

**Scholarship applications must be submitted (online only) by May 1.  The application can be accessed through the monthly email or on the Shields website (under the RESOURCES tab, then select FORMS).

**Please ensure we have your correct email address and other contact information.  We rely heavily on email to communicate with our members and friends.  Changes can be emailed to:

**See you at the Elks.
