VA PBA President speaks at press
conference supporting House bill 100.
On January 30, Virginia PBA Jason Knorowski spoke at a press
conference conducted in the General Assembly Building in
Richmond, touting our support of House Bill 100. This
legislation is intended to bring VA deputy sheriffs into the Law
Enforcement Procedures Act.
With VA PBA members looking on, bill Patron, Delegate David
Poisson (D-32), addressed the media stating “Deputies perform in
every respect the same law-enforcement functions as others who
carry a badge there is no reason they shouldn’t be afforded the
same job protections.”
Also speaking in support of the bill was Delegate Mathieson from
Virginia Beach. Check back often for progress of this important
piece of legislation.
