PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Bobby Holguin 
 

  Greetings Members,

Hope you all are enjoying your summer.  As you all know, our contract with the City will expire August 31.  The EPMPOA bargaining team has been working countless hours to keep our current benefits, as well as increase them (including wages).  It is not official yet, but it looks like all members will receive a 2 percent raise on September 1, and an additional 2 percent on June 1, 2009.  I will let you know and put a new pay wage scale out as soon as we get official word from the City.  Your negotiation team is focusing on retention pay, shift differential, field training officer pay, and our health insurance.  A big concern that the EPMPOA, the City, and the citizens of El Paso are facing is hiring and retaining officers to keep up with growth of the city's population.

The EPMPOA will be having its annual picnic at Wet 'n’ Wild on July, 20.  This is a very affordable event for everybody to bring out their families and have a good time.

The EPMPOA golf tournament is scheduled for September 19. If you plan on putting a team in place, please do so as soon as possible to save your spot.  We will be announcing the tournament outside of the membership very soon and we are expecting another sell out.  We are expecting a new Academy class to graduate and we look forward to welcoming 57 new members very soon.

We look forward to a new three or four year contract that will go hand in hand with our new Chief Greg Allen.  The future is looking bright for our membership and we hope that we see the positive effect for the EPMPOA and the El Paso Police Department very soon.

Until next month, keep you and your loved ones safe, never let your job become a routine, and always keep your guard up.  We have had several officers involved shootings in the last couple of years and I am happy to report that all members are doing well.  Finally, best wishes to all of the EPMPOA members in the upcoming Class II Director Election.
