What police associations are for

President Bob Cherry and the Baltimore F.O.P. worked as hard as they had to I order to get their members a decent deal.
Articles about a police association getting a good deal for their members are increasingly rare and about to get even rarer. But Baltimore’s police union recently approved a contract that increases officer pay by 13 percent and reorganizes the department to add 300 officers available for emergencies, its president said. Of the nearly two-thirds of officers who voted, 86.4 percent approved the new agreement, Baltimore FOP President Bob Cherry told reporters.
