Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs PBA

What Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs PBA does

The Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs Police Benevolent Association (SCDSPBA) is a New York-based labor union that provides collective bargaining representation, contract negotiation, workplace-rights advocacy, and member services to active and retired Deputy Sheriffs of the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office. Headquartered at 958 Portion Road, Ronkonkoma, NY, the organization traces its institutional lineage to 1670/1683 with the appointment of the first Suffolk County Sheriff and the county's establishment; the deputy sheriff role became a civil service position in 1969, and the organization is led by President Thomas Bivona alongside a five-member officer team (Philip Doukas, 1st Vice President; Michael Davis, 2nd Vice President; Steven Gordon, Treasurer; Brian Cowan, Secretary). Its stated mission is to deliver quality representation for Suffolk County Deputy Sheriffs while promoting positive community relationships.

The PBA delivers member services through a web-based Member Portal offering a member directory, officers and staff listing, events calendar, message board, online voting, contracts, constitution and bylaws, committees, downloads, and endorsements, supplemented by the DSPBA smartphone application that supports push notifications and email/text member communications. Ancillary member benefits include legal counsel via Greenberg, Burzichelli, Greenberg P.C., insurance consulting through the Cotgreave Agency, and fundraising coordination. The union engages with both members and the public through its website and official profiles on Facebook, Twitter/X, Instagram, and YouTube. Distribution is exclusively direct: new members self-register through the website subject to verification by a DSPBA administrator, with only active or retired members of the bargaining unit accepted.

Commercially, the SCDSPBA is a member-funded organization whose revenue derives from membership dues that are not publicly disclosed. It is organized under New York State law as a New York-domiciled entity, operates as a private association with no parent company or external ownership, and is governed by its constitution and bylaws. Its geographic scope is limited to Suffolk County, New York. The product surface documented in source material also references specialized Sheriff's Office operational units—the Pistol License Bureau (over 5,000 active license files), Civil Bureau (over 25,000 annual actions including evictions and property executions), Marine Bureau, Canine Unit (three dual-purpose K9 teams), Domestic Violence Bureau, and District Court Detention services—which characterize the underlying employer the union represents rather than services the PBA itself markets.

Direct peers

• Nass County Police Benevolent Association: Long Island's other major county police PBA, serving Nassau County officers with a comparable dues-funded representation model, digital member portal, and legal defense services.
• New York City Patrolmen's Benevolent Association: The largest municipal police union in the U.S., representing NYPD officers; comparable in mission and member services but materially larger in scale and political profile.
• Suffolk County Police Benevolent Association: The PBA representing Suffolk County Police Department officers — the closest peer in the same county, with overlapping governance, member-benefit model, and contract negotiation counterparties.
• Suffolk County Correction Officers Benevolent Association: Represents correction officers within Suffolk County's public safety workforce — a parallel labor union in the same county with a similar dues, contract, and representation model.

Broad incumbents

• Teamsters Local 237: Represents NYC public-sector employees including some law enforcement-adjacent roles — a broader union with overlapping public-sector representation scope and similar contract-negotiation function.
• New York State Sheriffs' Association: Statewide association of New York's elected sheriffs — adjacent rather than competing, as it represents the sheriffs themselves (not deputies), but operates in the same Suffolk County sheriff ecosystem.
• AFSCME New York: Major public-sector labor union representing New York public employees; a broader incumbent that negotiates contracts across counties and could compete for representation rights of certain deputy functions.
