Per the HPOU constitution, there was a special assessment of $45.08 on one February check and one April check, and there will be one on a June check for the survivors of officers killed in the line of duty.  The February assessment was for Officer Deleon, whose death was finally ruled in December 2008 as a gang initiation and thus line of duty.  The April assessment was for Officer Gary Gryder, who was killed when he was struck by a car while performing the duties of a police officer.  The June assessment will be for Officer Timothy Abernethy, who was shot and killed on a traffic stop.  100% of the assessment goes to the survivors of the Officers.  These families truly appreciate the assistance provided by your Union.
