Thank you again to Joe Occhipinti @NPDF1 for helping to sound the alarm to @RealTomHoman & @RepMarkGreen that @ROCLocustClub needs their support in the wake of the Rochester Mayor's egregious treatment of their officers. We are grateful for your leadership throughout your career.
Three years ago today, our brother was taken from us while doing his job. Officer Anthony Mazurkiewicz was murdered in the line of duty on July 21, 2022. Maz lived as a hero to his family and friends, and died as a hero to Rochester.

Locust Club press release regarding yesterday's incident on Mead St. Heroic actions by our members avoided tragedy. @13WHAM @FoxRochester @News_8 @news10nbc @FoxNews @NEWSMAX @WHAM1180 @WYSL1040 @DandC @WXXINews @SPECNews1ROC @mcfw @BobLonsberry @ROCHNYCRIMEINFO

Yesterday, while in pursuit of an armed homicide suspect, our members heroically put themselves at risk and had no choice but to return fire once the suspect fired upon them. Fortunately, our members avoided major injury. We thank the community for its support and concern.
Thank you to @realTomHoman for honoring the commitment you made at the @MajorCitiesConf last month and coming to support @ROCLocustClub and the officers unjustly caught up in Sanctuary Cities politics. We are grateful for leadership like yours!
The Locust Club says THANK YOU to all of the national organizations who travelled from great distances to support us yesterday: @ShopoHawaii @sbanypd @SuffolkPBA @SPOG1952 @UnitedCops Nassau County Police Department Superior Officers Association Safe travels home!

The Locust Club thanks @RealTomHoman for his message of unwavering support for our members. We are very grateful that he took the time out of his incredibly busy schedule to visit with us here in Rochester. More to come.

The insanity in Albany continues. The community deserves answers from @SenatorCooney. The Locust Club's statement🔽

With thanks to @UnitedCops, here are @RealTomHoman's remarks about Rochester from the @MajorCitiesConf. Our members will answer the call when other agencies ask for help.

Geoff Wiater, Paul Dondorfer and all of @ROCLocustClub have been amazing in their support of their officers who are being mistreated for simply assisting fellow officers when they received the call. You have the full support of the MCC.

Many great folks from around the community have shared Paul's message from this morning on @foxandfriends. The Locust Club thanks everybody for their support. We will keep fighting for our officers!
You can see the interview Paul Dondorfer did on Fox and Friends this morning at 20:37 in the video below. RPD policy is to back up other officers at all times! Damn right our officers did an excellent job and we are proud of them! youtu.be/xMvVYidxTkY?si…
We are incredibly grateful to the leadership of @sbanypd and the Nassau County Police Superior Officers Association for their help and support in connecting us with Mr. Homan.

THANK YOU SIR!
I stand with the officers of the Rochester, New York Police Department that answered the emergency assistance call from the U.S Border Patrol. The men and women of the Border Patrol have never refused the request for assistance from any law enforcement agency when they are…
Moments ago, at the Major Cities Conference in Nashville, @RealTomHoman said the following: "I am coming to Rochester." Get ready.
