Thursday night at our regular membership meeting we swore in two new members from Allen County Police Department. Welcome brothers. We are so happy to have you. Everyone enjoyed the sloppy joes and chips served that evening. Hope to see you all next month on the 3rd Thursday of October at 5:30.

Patriot Day is what we now call it but most of us know it as September 11th. A day, if you are old enough, you will always remember. It’s been 25 years since America was attacked and over 3000 Americans, including hundreds of first responders, lost their lives. Since then, nearly 9,000 people have died from helping rescue and clean up after. As we take a moment to remember today also take time today to just remember what it was like on September 12. When we were united Americans. When we were helpful to one another, when we were kinder to first responders, to each other. When helping your neighbor just seemed so natural. So when someone says Never Forget I know everyone means 9/11 but I hope we can get back to never forgetting 9/12 too. God bless America 🇺🇸

Please join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Indy as they have yet another incident in which another two of their officers have been shot. Thankfully they are currently in stable condition and the suspect is in custody. The violence against our officers must stop. Enough is enough.

What a week. It’s taken a bit to compile all photos. But what we can say is 2026 FOP Indiana State Conference, by all measures, was a hit. Thank you to all the delegates for coming. We enjoyed hosting you. Thank you to all our sponsors for your donations and believing in what FOP Wayne Lodge 14 represents and thank you to all our hard working volunteers. Without you this would not have been possible. We are grateful for being able to pull it all together so everyone could have a great time. Congratulations to Wayne Lodge 14’s own Mitch McKinney who was elected State VP. Bravo sir, now go do great things. As always we are

When an officer asks what the Fraternal Order of Police does for them, my response as president is that we accomplish a great deal. While we cannot perform miracles, we do stand united in our commitment to the safety of all officers and the communities they serve across Indiana and the nation. As a membership, we may not always see eye-to-eye on every issue, but our dedication to the core principles of our organization will never cease. We will continue to vocalize our commitment to safety and fairness for our brothers and sisters and our communities loudly and resolutely. Gratitude to Rick Snyder and FOP Lodge #86 for their tireless efforts in combating the injustices that have plagued their community. It has leeched throughout every corner in this state. A warning Brother Snyder and surrounding Presidents spoke about several years ago. This Marion County revolving door of criminal offenders endangers the lives of innocent citizens and law enforcement officers all across Indiana. It's imperative that the Laissez-Faire attitude of the Marion County prosecutor be brought to task. The unanimous vote of the 14,000 strong Indiana FOP marks the beginning of a concerted effort to demand accountability. We hope you stand with us in this fight for law and order for Indiana.

The unanimous vote against Prosecutor Ryan Mears was made on Friday at the 2026 Indiana FOP State Conference in Fort Wayne.
