To the Delegates of the Louisiana Fraternal Order of Police at the 35th Biennial Conference:

I am honored and humbled to be reelected to serve another term as your State 1st Vice-President. Your unwavering support means the world to me, and I am deeply grateful for the trust you have placed in me once again.

I promise to continue the important work of this Order and to represent the rank-and-file officers who dedicate themselves every day to protecting our communities and our country.

I would also like to thank the members of the Corbett W. Penton Lodge #47 for their steadfast support. Without you, I would not be here.

Additionally, I extend my gratitude to the hardworking members of Thibodaux Lodge #52 for their hospitality, effort, and dedication in making this conference possible.

Thank you for your confidence and support.

🚨NEW: 2020 was a bad year for law enforcement, as 314 officers were shot (⬆️ from 2019’s historic numbers)

With the violence against law enforcement only getting worse, it’s past time for our elected officials to condemn these heinous attacks and stop the war against law enforcement!

Our organization needs strong, dynamic leadership who understands the challenges the FOP is facing, who knows what it's like to go to work in today's policing environment, and is committed to working with our members to move this organization forward, together! When considering the future of the FOP, I humbly ask that you consider supporting me as your next national treasurer. Stand with me as we continue building on our proud tradition!

We stand with Patrick Yoes

Leadership is a relationship founded on trust and confidence. Build trust and members will embrace the future. During my tenure as your National Secretary, what prides me the most are the relationships built on trust and the personalized service I provided to all 2,400 lodges across this great nation. I take great pride knowing that my staff and I effectively delivered quality services that empowered Lodges to succeed.

Over the past few months I’ve reflected on my role and future in the FOP. Through discussions and encouragement from the leaders across this great nation, I’ve come to the realization that our organization is at a cross roads. The common message that I’ve heard time and time again is that in order to gain their confidence and trust members expect more inclusive leadership.

After much consideration and with the encouragement of hundreds of FOP Leaders from all across America, I am pleased to announce my candidacy for National President of the Fraternal Order of Police this August at our 64th Biennial Conference in New Orleans. It is not a decision that has been made in haste. I have a vision of the future and understand that the path towards that vision demands a president that will challenge leaders at all levels of this Order to think and act courageously in order to evolve with these changing times. I am humbled to receive the unanimous endorsement of my Local and State Lodges.

I look forward to sharing my 10 Point Plan for the future of our nation’s oldest and largest rank and file police association.
