Assaulting a Traffic Agent is a serious crime and is now treated as a felony. For decades, New York City’s Enforcement Agents have faced a major problem of on-the-job assault and harassment without felony protection. Since 1986, New York City’s Traffic Enforcement Agents have lobbied for a New York State felony bill that would provide protection for the members of CWA Local 1182. Finally on July 22, 2008 this important legislation became law.

District Attorney Charles Hynes has always taken a leadership role in the enforcement of laws that protect the public and ensure that our streets and neighborhoods are safe. The members of CWA Local 1182, Traffic and Sanitation Enforcement Agents of New York City are grateful for the support and cooperation received by the Brooklyn District Attorney.

To assist with getting the message out that assaults on Uniform Traffic Agents will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,  Local 1182 and Local 983 have joined together on a joint advertising campaign that is running in the Borough of Brooklyn.  The media campaign is using a combination of Cable TV, newspapers, a mobile truck that is riding around Brooklyn and movie theaters.

The mobile truck campaign began the same day as the press conference and toured the streets of Brooklyn through Saturday March 28th.

Beginning on Wednesday April 1st Cablevison in Brooklyn will be showing this 30 second commercial about the Felony Assault law on the following cable TV channels:

NY1 – Channel 12 – CNN – TNT – USA and Spike.  The commercial will air anytime from 6:00am to midnight.
