1-  Retiree Civil Rights Movement  -  We have made headway and have become a true factor in the political arena, via the "Retiree Civil Rights Movement", initiated through the "Brooklyn & Staten Island 10-13".  Our "targeting" of  political adversaries began in 1995 with the "Targeting of Assemblywoman Debra Mazzarelli" (Republican - Suffolk County), based on her "anti-vote" of retirees, regarding the issue of increased Supplementation payments. This action, by our organization, resulted in positive political results for our retirees. 
  Utilizing the assistance of our membership in the "club houses" and on phone banks, the Republican Committee of Kings County credited our organization with being a prime mover in defeating Senator Robert DiCarlo (Republican - Bklyn & S.I.) in the Republican Primary, September 10, 1996.  SENATOR Di CARLO "VOTED" ANTI-COP!  
     Former Borough President Guy Molinari  (Republican  - Staten Island), along with the Republican Leadership of Kings County, on that evening, thanked our members personally for their assistance.  In addition, we ran a member of the "Bklyn & S.I. 10-13" for the NYS Assembly, an unknown politically.  He  lost by a very small margin!  Assemblywoman  Debra Mazzarelli (R-Suffolk) voted against Supplementation for our retirees - we TARGETED  her (placed her photo on a pistol target) in the "Bklyn & S.I. 10-13 " newsletter - she subsequently  resigned!  We "ran" two candidates for the NYC Council, in the September 1997 Republican Primary; one in Brooklyn and one in Staten Island. Both WON, each with a "two to one" margin!
     We do not give our allegiance to any one political party! It is given to those political candidates, incumbents or otherwise -  who vote or whom have demonstrated they are  "pro-retiree".  We have and will continue to endorse, only Democrats or Republicans who are pro on the position of the retirees.
     "Scorecards" or "Report cards" are and will be kept on every member of the Assembly and Senate of the New York State Legislature  & the NYC Council - this assist us in knowing how best to mobilize the retirees, on a City & State level, to defeat  those politicians who are not pro retiree.  We will take what action necessary to  defeat those politicians who oppose retirees.
      Further, at that time, we received the complete support of the Republican Party of Kings County to chose our own "Police Retiree Candidate", who they have and will continue to endorse and support for public office.
     Additionally, through your efforts and of  your organization, one of our own, a member of the Brooklyn & Staten Island 10-13, was elected as a member of the New York City Council and in 2002 he was elected to the N.Y. State Senate.

2-  Retiree Unification  -  We've unified retirees from many various agencies to assist in obtaining a TRUE C.O.L.A. for all; on a City & State level.  We have enlisted the aid of true "political allies" to support us.  Additionally, we are part of a unified coalition with  Retired N.Y.C. Firefighters to "TARGET" those politicians who oppose or do not support the retirees.

3-  City & State Coalition of Fire & Police  -  In keeping with the commonality of the fire and police, and as a result of the encouragement of the City and State Firefighters, we have worked in a unified fashion, for the good of all of us.  Our intent is to form a unified cohesive "block vote" - supporting  each other, on a City and State level, on matters of
legislation and to defeat politicians opposed to retirees.  Working together in a cohesive fashion we will succeed.  City and State firefighters and police have encouraged us to form this organization and have committed their support to it.

4-  City Council (NYC)  -  We have been invited and have given testimony on relative matters affecting active and retired police officers.

5-  Active Line Organizations  -  We have cooperative working relationships with all "Active Line Leaders", which we  intend to continue.   The POINT IS  -  we must assist each other, Retired and Active  -  for the good of all!  WHAT  GOOD  IS  ACCOMPLISHED  IN  GOING  TO THE  STATE  LEGISLATURE - OPPOSING  EACH  OTHER!  WE HAVE PROVEN  THE  POINT! -  WORKING  TOGETHER  WITH  ALL  LINE  ORGANIZATIONS,  HELPING  EACH  OTHER  IS BENEFICIAL  TO  ALL  OF  US   -   ACTIVE  &  RETIRED !

6-  Legislation  -  Our history includes legislation introduced and passed into law on behalf of you, our constituents. 

7-  New York City Police Departments' recognition of our organization -  At our Honorarium Luncheon, in April 1996, commemorating the founding our "10-13", and the 150th Anniversary of the NYC Police Department  -  the Department, in a show of support for our organization and a testimony to our credibility,  provided a Bag Piper and the Department Honor Guard for our Honorarium on this momentous occasion.

8-  The City Council (NYC) & The Borough of Queens recognition of our organization -  The Borough of Queens (September 23, 1995), honored the men and women; active, retired and deceased, who serve or have served in branches of the Armed Forces, Fire Department and the New York City Police Department.  A plaque was presented to New York City Police Department Chief Wilber Chapman and our former President,  Stephen F. Spinelli.  It exalts every member of the Department; past and present.  The presentation was performed by the Hon. Peter F. Vallone, Speaker of the New York City Council on behalf of the Borough of Queens.  Copies of these commemorative tablets were presented to the stated individuals and other agencies.  Duplicate tablets, as those presented, were permanently infixed at the base of a newly erected flag pole monument, located in the Borough of Queens.
     This auspicious occasion bestowed lasting tribute to the members of the New York City Police Department and our Association on behalf of our Retirees.
     In  July 19, 1997, the Hon. Peter Vallone F. Vallone, former Speaker of the New York City Council, for the entire Council, presented a "Proclamation" honoring the "New York 10-13 Association, Brooklyn & Staten Island, Inc.".

9-  Associate membership  -  Due to the overwhelming request of non-police individuals or police officers from other  law enforcement agencies who desire to assist or support our organization, as a result  of our positive accomplishments and the financial assistance your association has provided to children's groups, we have established "Associate Membership".  This will provide for those individuals who are pro-police to receive our publications and be kept informed of our accomplishments.  DUES FOR THOSE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE THE SAME AS FOR A RETIRED MEMBER.

10-  Charitable causes  -  Through your support and generosity; we have been able to provide assistance to many fine charitable causes.  You can take pride in knowing that we have supplied monies to the Police Anchor Club for the benefit of our widows and children, Kamp  Kiwanis, I Belong, Prosper, Catholic Charities and the Childrens Times.  These funds were  earmarked for the betterment of the quality of life for children, who through no fault of their own are underprivileged; either financially, physically and many times both.  We are happy to do for the innocent children of our community, just as we are happy to work for the self-dignity of retired officers of the New York City Police Department.

11-  Active members of the NYCPD  -  We enlist their aid and membership, for "WE ARE YOUR INSURANCE FOR YOUR FUTURE !  We have ACTIVE TRUSTEES on our Board.  As Retirees - to the Active Members of the NYPD  - "OUR PRESENT IS YOUR FUTURE !  Protect your benefits!
