"In response to the allegations, Andrew Thompson, president of the Town of Tonawanda Police Club, expressed that the claims lack merit. Thompson received a copy of the charges last week and insists that the police department has suffered from years of mismanagement. He stated, “I think it’s ridiculous, and I think it’s a waste of taxpayer money.”

Town of Tonawanda moves forward with discipline for officers accused of illegally striking
www.wkbw.com
The Town of Tonawanda is taking disciplinary action against approximately 50 police officers accused of participating in an illegal strike.The police department mission is public safety. It appears the Town of Tonawanda uses the police department to collect revenue. They also disciplined an officer with no proof. The managers claim drugs were destroyed but where is the proof? This officer just testified against the Chief and a month later he was suspended. This is what you call retaliation.
I stand behind Officer Thompson, and the rest of the Town PD. I have no respect for our so-called chief of police and our so-called Town supervisor along with his cronies the rest of the town board keep wasting the taxpayers money. You do things behind back all of a sudden a big pole barn is being built in my neighborhood. but nobody knew anything about it until it was already started. A few years ago, Tonawanda Supervisor Joe Emminger went after the fireman now I guess he’s after the police officers. Not that I wanna wish the summer away, but I can’t wait until November when we can all voice, our displeasure with him and the rest of the cronies that are supposed to be for the residents of Town of Tonawanda.💙💙💙💙💙💙
Wow… the control freak, I know best quotes are incredible. “Like your children……” “I gave him orders…..” …and basically making the determination that only tickets written (ie. a Quota) is the only way of addressing the vehicle and traffic law without a mention of the number of violations addressed with vehicles pulled over and warnings issued. BOTH are corrective actions addressing driving behaviors/violations. The traffic ticket quote is actually correctable through training though. The gentleman can take a law enforcement course at the academy regarding the various vehicle and traffic laws, vehicle pullovers, emergency vehicle operation etc. The fact another board member is not at least uncomfortable enough with this to speak up is also scary. Yikes…good luck
Emminger and the Chief need to go, Emminger clearly doesn’t understand how the voting process works, he will in 2027.
If they aren’t going to get the revenue from the tickets, they’ll take it from the officers skin. Storms, icy conditions, low salt supply, extremely bitter weather don’t count in the equation for less tickets. We want your soul. 🤡🤡🤡🤡 Clowns across the board. The one time I saw a board member try to stand up against “Joe” about the roundabouts, he was squashed like a bug. No respect.🤬
So there’s a quota , that’s what I’m gathering
On the TV today the Supervisor said that there was no ticket quota but they keep saying tickets are down from last couple of years but he keeps bringing it up!!
Does Supv Emminger even live near the roundabouts that are more of a hazard now then the straight streets before.. definitely a waste of government money.
They’re still pissed because they went up against the Fire Companies to block the Memorial service the companies held for their deceased members. That was the Jim and Joe show. 🤡🤡
Don’t forget that the town supervisor needs to shovel more of our money to the law firm. They might not donate to his campaign if he doesn’t
There is a ticket quota ! Emminger is a liar!!
F the town board! Fire all of them and Stauffiger if he doesn’t resign! Enough is enough! My dept and this town is being ripped apart due to ONE singular individual…Stauffiger…time to resign. Call it a career sir….
Is this the downfall of the town? This is awful. My tax dollars going to the men and women who continue to go to calls, no matter what. But bc they didn’t get their revenue…. Shame
Holding your officers accountable and using bullying tactics are two very different things!
Mr Mayor, ticket quota? You can make a vehicle stop and not issue a ticket so they are still doing their job. It's sounds like there is a quota and you're upset about the lost revenue.
100% waste of taxpayers money fire the chief! Vote them out!
We have your backs!!!
Wow he’s a POS 😒
Everyone better get out and vote next election and vote these assholes out. Only way
The towns baseless accusations of the Town of Tonawanda police officers is an embarrassment to the great residents of this town. What is this costing the taxpayers?

TTPD union challenges Taylor Law allegations
www.audacy.com
The union representing Town of Tonawanda Police officers says it will challenge letters being sent out to officers the town says violated the Taylor Law with a work stoppage earlier this year.Town board member should be ashamed of themselves making it political!
Section 210(d) of the Taylor law states that “the chief executive officer of the government involved shall determine whether or not such violation has occurred and the date or dates of such violation”. Why are the town taxpayers paying for these expensive lawyer? Can’t the town supervisor do his job without spending our money?
Vote the whole outfit out..start with a clean slate . Our officers deserve better than the circus running the show now.
When is reelection up for all board members, let’s start there, so the residents are aware, if these poor 👮 have to pay a fine, someone should start a go fund me, then let’s pay these fines in pennys, we can play that game, this is a embarrassment to All the people in the town, wasting peoples tax dollars on foolishness, way to represent the town
What a ridiculous situation. Wait until election time. It’s time of a change in leadership in the town.
Such a joke.
The Town has never considered what it will cost taxpayers.
Let’s not forget, we were lied to about the alleged slow response by the ambulance provider. The town just wanted to hire their own friends and family to operate the town ambulance provider. I don’t trust this supervisor.
Go after the Board with Barrels Blazing......Just saying
This is so asinine!!!!
Leave the police alone they do a great job
The next election I’ll bet brings republicans in .
I agree it’s unfair to us.
The residents have your backs!!!
TOT is a democratic ran town! Bullies and arrogance are on the board! Things have to change!
