Those who have not paid their 2007 dues will be purged from the membership rolls soon.   Please send a check soon to prevent you name from being removed.

At the July meeting membership voted to continue providing a lodge attorney for critical incidents and administrative actions.  Caps of $5,000 for critical incidents and $2,500 for administrative actions per member/ per incident were voted on and accepted by the membership

A new accountant has been found for the lodge taxes.  Hopefully, we will be in full compliance with the IRS soon.

All members are strongly encouraged to update their beneficiary form yearly.  Recently a member passed away and the beneficiary form on file was from many years ago and did not list anyone.  Unfortunately, our insurance company cannot pay the claim.

The Shop With A Cop golf tournament was a huge success.  A total of 115 players participated and in excess of $18,500 was raised.  Thanks to all who help especially Brother Bobby Pierce for all of his efforts organizing the event.  Photo Gallery

Legal Representation

Critical Incident Lodge Attorney-  Click Here for details

Members "do not" need the approval of the legal committee if you are involved in a critical / use of force incident.  The member or his representative holds sole responsibility for contacting one of our four attorney's should the need arise.

If you are in need of an attorney for any other purpose a member of the Legal Committee must be called before contacting an attorney. If you do not clear the contact of an attorney through the Legal Committee the Lodge will not pay for the legal services.

Legal Committee:
