NIOA/ FOP Official Announcement
May 22, 2024

Good morning, 

It is with great pride and honor that I am able to send this email to all of you. The purpose of this email is to formally notify you all that the much-anticipated solution to re-establish the representation and protections for the bargaining unit employees of our agency is open for business! 

It has been a long road coming since the Disclaimer of Interest that left us without the representation and protections that we all need and deserve. With the help of the Fraternal Order of Police, we have found a new home, and established a new association that is far-and-beyond better than anything we have ever had. The FOP Legal Defense Plan, which is included with membership, is a true game-changer for ICE ERO BUEs. This plan includes administrative (all disciplinary actions), civil, and criminal coverage that provides attorneys to defend our members with no financial limitation. 

The FOP will also be involved in assisting with the certification of NIOA as designated representative for ICE ERO BUEs with the Federal Labor Relations Authority. This distinction from the past arrangement means that NIOA will hold the certificate as the bargaining authority with the agency, never to face the possibility of a Disclaimer of Interest scenario again. This truly is an organization by and for ICE ERO BUEs, in partnership with the largest national organization in the United States solely dedicated to representing and protecting law enforcement officers. 

If there are questions not covered in the FAQs, please send them to admin@nioa.us and we will answer and add to the FAQ list.

Respectfully, 

Matthew T. Grooms

President
