🛍️ Blues & Shoes 2024 🛍️

This weekend, our Martin-McDaniel FOP Lodge members had the privilege of helping local children gear up for the school year at our Blues & Shoes event! 👟👕

A special thank you to Wilkinsons Mall for allowing us to host the event at their location. Your support in providing the space and having your staff there early to assist made everything run smoothly. We truly appreciate your partnership! 💙

It was a day filled with smiles, as we teamed up to ensure these kids have the clothing and shoes they need to start the school year on the right foot. We were able to help around 30 kids get just under $4000 of shoes and clothing! It's always a joy to give back to our community and make a positive impact on the lives of our young ones.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this event such a success!

On November 22, 2023, Officer Perkins was in the parking lot of Golden Corral on Oak Street, investigating an accident that occurred on the roadway. While Officer Perkins was speaking with the drivers involved in the accident, another vehicle entered the parking lot at a high rate of speed and headed towards them.

Officer Perkins heroically pushed the other two individuals out of the way but was struck by the vehicle himself. The impact caused him to collide with a nearby flatbed trailer before landing approximately 15 feet away. Officer Perkins was transported to the hospital to treat his injuries and was off work recovering for some time.

For his courageous actions that day, Officer Perkins has been awarded the Medal of Valor. Congratulations, Officer Perkins, and keep up the outstanding work!
