PLEA & APA Testify re: Anti Union Bill
PLEA Lobbyist and Consultant Dr. Levi Bolton and APA Executive Director Brian Livingston testified in the Arizona Senate Judiciary Committee to represent the interest of Law Enforcement in the controversial new ballot initiative. The bill supporters insist that the new initiative's single purpose is to insure that where local, state or federal law permits or requires an election for employee elections, it shall be by secret ballot. Both PLEA and the APA support secret ballots, it is the actual bill language that is problematic and creates potential interpretation issues that may expand entitlements beyond the scope of the crafter's intent.
Elections are Here
Early ballots are out and elections are in progress for a variety of political offices in the State and County. PLEA encourages all officers to vote and to encourage their friends and families to vote also.

PLEA PSA for County Attorney Race
PLEA has endorsed Mr. Bill Montgomery (R) in the upcoming election for the office of Maricopa County Attorney. Mr. Montgomery is a candidate who believes in the rule of law and who will not undo progressive legal ground work that has been previously laid by his predecessor in the fight on ilegal immigration. Mr. Montgomery has a strong pro law enforcement track record and has demonstrated that he can work effectively with law enforcement throughout Maricopa County. Mr. Montgomery is in favor of SB 1070 and believes that the Count Attorney's office should continue to aggresivley prosecute those who continue to enter the country illegally, engage in human smuggling and engage in drug smuggling.

SB-1070 Signed into Law
On Friday April 23, 2010, Governor Jan Brewer flanked by representatives of multiple Arizona Police Association (APA) members signed SB-1070 "Safe Neighborhoods Bill" more commonly known as the "illegal immigratrion bill" into law. The law will not officially go into effect until late July early September time frame. PLEA has supported this legislation from the outset. For far too long, Arizona communities and Arizona law enforcement have paid too high a price in the battle on illegal immigration.
