I once heard they are not covered under GML 207-c for injuries at work? Is this still true?

I know one of them as well and wish him the best of luck. His older brother is a p.o. in westchester as well.

Unfortunately for the DEP Police, due to the salary, disability and retirement, many DEP cops use it as a stepping stone for other local Police jobs. They are the lowest paid Police in the area.

Have there been an attempt by their PBA to make thier pay and benefits better?

Also, best of luck to the new officers.
