Law Enforcement Employees Benevolent Association, Jakwan Rivers President

Advocacy for public-safety professionals begins at 80 Broad St, where the Law Enforcement Employees Benevolent Association coordinates support ranging from legal assistance to family counseling. The union, led by Jakwan Rivers as president, channels collective bargaining strength into programs that include financial planning workshops and disability claims guidance. Member education seminars and workplace safety briefings keep officers informed of evolving regulations.

From its Financial District office, the organization negotiates contracts and lobbies for policy changes that directly affect the ranks of city and state law enforcement. Specialized assistance runs the gamut from tuition reimbursement coordination to survivor benefit advocacy when families face hardship. A dedicated legal hotline offers immediate answers during critical incidents.

For members or families seeking assistance, the union’s contact point is a single line of communication that never moves. 212-344-5600 rings to a staff trained in public-safety benefits, credit counseling, and dispute resolution. No voicemail maze stands between a caller and help.
