Town of Tonawanda Police Club
Representing the men and women of the Town of Tonawanda Police Department since 1967.
"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.
Emminger and the Chief need to go, Emminger clearly doesn’t understand how the voting process works, he will in 2027.
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
So there’s a quota , that’s what I’m gathering
Wow he’s a POS 😒
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!
What a ridiculous situation. Wait until election time. It’s time of a change in leadership in the town.
Such a joke.
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

The Town of Tonawanda Police Club has launched a new educational website today, as part of its ongoing campaign to bring new leadership to the Town of Tonawanda Police Department.
The website provides both an online petition for members of the public to show their support for our police officers, as well as an auto-generated email message sent to various local and state officials calling for the immediate removal of TTPD Chief of Police Jim Stauffiger.
It's time to hold Chief Stauffiger fully accountable for his mismanagement and mistreatment of our dedicated police officers.
TTPD officers deserve respect, support, and appreciation for their personal sacrifices in maintaining public safety.
It's time to end the retaliation, bullying, scapegoating, and union busting activities of both Chief Stauffiger and the Town Board.
Please click the link enclosed to join our campaign and to back the blue!
