“February 18, 2026 – Good Morning Dave,
I am a recent retiree from the Phoenix Police Department and recently utilized my benefits from AZCOPS to work through a medical retirement application. I can not begin to say enough good things about Steve Serbalik and his team. They successfully assisted me with navigating the entire process and I could not be more grateful. I worked for PPD for 32 years and had no idea what to expect during the process and Steve answered every question and concern I had and was always there to assist. Thank you for adding this benefit to the AZCOPS plan. It was truly invaluable to me. Take care”.
“March 16, 2025 – Dave, I just wanted to give you an update since the last time we talked. It’s been about three weeks since I got hired, and it’s been going great. My life feels like it’s finally back on track. I’ve settled back into the structure I used to have, and I’ve been really successful in acclimating back into police work. It’s awesome! I didn’t realize how much I missed it! Field training was only three weeks instead of the usual four months, and I’ve already handled all kinds of calls — from neighbor disputes to a homicide — and I’ve been getting good feedback and recognition from both officers and command staff. It feels so good to be back in the groove. For the first time in a long time, I don’t feel like my whole world is falling apart. Thank you for everything you did for me to get this job.”
“November 20, 2024 – Dave, I wanted to let you know I was able to connect with Bob regarding my work comp issue. He’s a great guy and he answered all of my questions thoroughly. It’s great to know AZCOPS has these resources available to us. I’m still working with Steve’s office on the PSPRS side and they are also a great resource. Thank you again!”
“November 5, 2024 – I cannot express enough gratitude for the exceptional support provided by AZCOPS, AZCOPS’ attorney Steve Serbalik, and Steve’s staff, Aaron and Max. After over twenty years in law enforcement, facing the challenges of a medical retirement process can be overwhelming. The team at AZCOPS was not only committed to serving me but also to truly understanding and telling my story to the retirement board. Their dedication to capturing the nuances of my service and experiences made all the difference. In a system often mired in bureaucracy, their expertise and commitment ensured my voice was heard and my story accurately represented. I genuinely believe that without AZCOPS’ representation, I would have faced a much less than favorable outcome. Their work is invaluable to those of us who have dedicated our lives to service, and I am forever grateful for their support and professionalism.”
