Ralph Tomeo is the new Brooklyn North Trustee. It’s appropriate that we are introducing him to you in the issue of The PBA Magazine that happens to be dedicated to our members currently serving or having recently served in the U.S. Armed Forces Reserves.

Among his many accomplishments, this latest addition to the PBA Executive Board is a member of the U.S. Air Force Reserves and was on active duty until Sept. 30 of this year as a combat arms instructor. He was activated in November 2001, serving as a Security Forces flight chief at McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey and as fire team leader in Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia.

Tomeo, assigned to the 94 Pct., joined the NYPD in August 1993 and was first assigned to patrol and as a field training officer. He was also assigned to the SNEU. He became a PBA Delegate in the 94 in June 1999 and has been active on the COPE and contract committees.

His educational credentials are noteworthy: He has an associates degree in criminal justice from the College of the U.S. Air Force and a bachelor of arts degree in political science from SUNY, Oneonta.

Ralph Tomeo is married and lives in East Patchogue. In line with his military service, he was married on the battleship New Jersey while it was docked in Camden in March 2004. He is an avid bow-hunter. Again, that’s somehow appropriate for a U.S. Air Force combat arms instructor.
