2025 PNWFPA's 35th Annual
John J. Bodor Sheriff's Fire Police Seminar
Part I
04/23/25

As flags waved at half mast in honor of the recently deceased Pope Francis, PNWFPA members gathered for the anual seminar. The evening opened with introductory remarks by PNWFPA President Marilyn Miller. She was followed by Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne, who welcomed everyone, and expressed his appreciation for all the members accomplish. The first speaker of the evening was Steve Pendzuk, with the topic of Traffic Incident Management. The break was, as always, welcome, and many donuts were consumed.
During the second half, John O'Connor spoke on NYS Article 35, in reference to the use of force.
As always, the 50 / 50 raffle was a great success, with a couple of members happy they attended the meeting.
