Toal joined the NYPD in November of 1959, and fronted the SBA beginning in 1980 and ending in April of 2000, when he retired, the association said. 

“During his more than four decades in law enforcement, Joe was known for his unrivaled dedication and commitment to public safety and the men and women he served as SBA president,” current SBA President Vincent Vallelong told The Post on Tuesday.

Retired Sgt. Ed Burns, who worked with Toal, also had warm words of remembrance.

“Joe was a great guy, a better cop and the greatest president,” Burns said. “The only thing that he loved more than the SBA was his family.”
