FOP Dayton Lodge 44

05/18/2026

Police Week was this past week in our nation’s capital. The men and women who have dedicated their lives to public safety and made the ultimate sacrifice were honored, and their names etched for eternity.

Locally, the Montgomery County Law Enforcement Memorial was held honoring the local heroes from across our county.

We also celebrated the years of hard work put in by members of the Montgomery County law-enforcement Memorial team, and successfully dedicated our local memorial site.
