This week, COBA was proud to take part in the NYC Department of Correction’s Second Annual Men’s Conference in honor of Men’s Health Month. The event focused on promoting wellness, mental health, and personal development for the men who serve in one of the most challenging law enforcement environments in the country.
COBA Treasurer Angel Castro represented COBA on the conference panel, offering valuable insight into the daily challenges faced by our members and the importance of prioritizing mental and physical well-being. COBA First Citywide Trustee Rodney McQueen also addressed attendees on behalf of the COBA Executive Board, reinforcing our commitment to advocating for the health, safety, and support of NYC’s BOLDEST.
During the event, two of our most respected members – Correction Officer Buckley of ESU and Correction Officer Drayton of Manhattan Courts – were formally recognized for an incredible 36 years of dedicated service. Their careers reflect the strength, professionalism, and commitment that define this job, and we congratulate them on this well-earned honor.
COBA remains committed to supporting initiatives that uplift and empower our members both on and off the job.
