NYPD / DEA Career Accomplishments - a lifetime devoted to the labor movement

Thomas Scotto's distinguished career in the NYPD for 39 Years earned him over 30 departmental awards. These awards range from Excellent Police Duties, Meritorious Police Awards and Commendations. As such, he was enrolled in the NYPD's Honor Legion. When Tom's son John was promoted (1993) to the rank of detective he was awarded with his dad's shield. Tom was then granted the most distinguished and coveted shield in all law enforcement...... NYPD Detective Shield #1

Tom's daughter Dianna is also a member of the NYPD. She holds a distinguished rank of Sergeant as does her husband Scott Erickson.

His Union career started in 1973 when he was first elected Delegate. Then in 1976 he was elected Trustee and drafted in 1983 to be the Vice President of the New York City Detectives' Endowment Association. In 1986, he was elected President.
 
During his Tenure as President, he elevated the DEA to heights never believed possible. The DEA became one of the most politically active law enforcement unions in the country. Under his leadership, the DEA introduced and passed numerous pieces of legislation on a city, state and federal level.
Most noted within the DEA was the "18th Month Detective Bill". This bill mandated the City to promote and compensate all police officers who served in an investigative capacity after 18 months of service. As a result of this legislation, the rank of detective exploded from 2500 to 7100, at it's highest level. Thousands have and thousands will retire with enhanced pensions as a result of this legislation.
While President, of the NYC DEA, Thomas Scotto also played an active role with the National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO). His position started as an Area Vice President, then the Vice President and finally as the President of NAPO from 1992-2002. Under his leadership the membership in NAPO increased from 90,000 to 220,000 members. While President of NAPO he introduced/co-introduced numerous pieces of Federal Legislation that includes:

  • CRIME BILL of 1995: which added 100,000 Law Enforcement officers throughout the US.
  • PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS BILL: which provides over $250,000 to the families of officers who are killed in the line of duty.
  • SOURCE TAX BILL: which allows police officers to move to another state without paying taxes to the state in which they were employed.

Plus many other pieces of Federal Legislation
