About Us

Paterson PBA Local 1 is the recognized labor organization representing the police officers of the Paterson Police Department. Established by a group of officers who recognized the need for a benevolent and protective association, PBA Local 1 has grown into one of New Jersey's most respected police unions.

Throughout our history, PBA Local 1 has been dedicated to protecting the rights of our members while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and service to the City of Paterson. We work in close partnership with city officials, community leaders, and residents to ensure that Paterson remains a safe place to live, work, and raise a family. Our organization continues to build on a proud legacy of service, integrity, and dedication to this great city.
