🇺🇸 Proud moment for the Minnesota FOP family.

Glacial Lakes - Lodge 23 MNFOP has awarded the first-ever Josh Owen Memorial Scholarships to two outstanding students — Tyson Metz and Tristian O’Neil.

These young men are pursuing careers in law enforcement and public service, exactly the kind of future professionals Deputy Josh Owen inspired through his life of selfless service.

We commend Lodge #23 for turning tragedy into purpose by investing in the next generation. This is what Brotherhood looks like — honoring our fallen by lifting up those who will carry the torch forward.

Congratulations Tyson and Tristian! The Minnesota FOP is proud of you. Pope County MN Sheriff's Office

We commend the Wadena Police Department, Wadena County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension for never giving up on this case and continuing to fight for justice.

🚨 Minnesota FOP Strong 🚨

Minnesota FOP National Trustee Ruben Marichalar delivers a powerful and heartfelt message at the National Peace Officers Memorial Service.

"Every survivor has a unique story to tell and it's always great because... although it's a memorial service, it's also a celebration of life to remember how they did live... It's good to have a mental picture of the good that happened in that life and that career and not just the bad and the sad that happened."

Ruben Marichalar, a dedicated Minnesota State Trooper and longtime FOP leader, reminds us that honoring our fallen officers includes celebrating the lives they lived and the positive impact they made.

Thank you, Trustee Marichalar, for your continued service and leadership. National Fraternal Order of Police
