To our brothers and sisters working across the southwest suburbs: stay vigilant, watch out for one another, and stay safe. 💙

The recent Somali gang violence in our communities has meant long hours, difficult investigations, and officers working around the clock to identify those responsible and prevent further violence.

Lake Minnetonka FOP Lodge 6 wants to thank every officer, investigator, dispatcher, supervisor, and law enforcement partner putting in the extra hours to solve these crimes and keep our communities safe.

Your work does not go unnoticed.

Take care of each other. Watch each other’s backs. And thank you for continuing to answer the call. 🇺🇸💙

Cleared once. Prosecuted again. Cleared twice. 🇺🇸

An officer involved in an on-duty shooting was initially cleared, only to face a reopened prosecution and a legal battle that lasted nearly three years.

Through it all, the Fraternal Order of Police Legal Defense Plan was there—providing the legal representation and resources needed to fight the case. Ultimately, the charges were dismissed and the officer returned to active duty.

The estimated legal costs: $390,000.

Does your Legal Defense Plan have the deep pockets to protect you?

Because when your career, reputation and freedom are on the line, having experienced counsel is only part of the equation. Your Legal Defense Plan also needs the financial resources to stay in the fight for as long as it takes.

Twenty-five years ago, our nation changed forever.

On September 11, 2001, 2,977 innocent lives were taken in the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Among them were 343 FDNY firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, and 37 Port Authority Police officers who answered the call and ran toward danger while others were trying to escape.

Today, the Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police remembers every life lost, every family forever changed, and every first responder who demonstrated extraordinary courage and sacrifice.

Twenty-five years have passed, but our promise remains the same.

We will remember.
We will honor.
We will NEVER FORGET. 🇺🇸

This Friday, all eyes should be on the Minnesota Supervised Release Board.

Ronald Reed, convicted in the ambush murder of St. Paul Police Officer James T. Sackett Sr., is once again seeking his freedom.

Officer Sackett answered a call for help on May 22, 1970. It was a setup. He was ambushed and murdered, leaving behind a wife and four children.

More than 56 years later, his family is still fighting for justice.

We stand with Officer Sackett’s family, the Saint Paul Police Department, and our brothers and sisters at the Saint Paul Police Federation.

📅 Friday, September 11, 2026
⏰ Approximately 11:15 AM – 4:30 PM
📺 Watch live on the Minnesota Department of Corrections YouTube channel.

SHARE THIS. WATCH THE HEARING. PAY ATTENTION.

The members of the Supervised Release Board have an enormous responsibility. The public should see how they vote and hold them accountable for their decisions.

We expect the Board to hold Ronald Reed accountable for the murder of Officer Jim Sackett.

Keep Ronald Reed behind bars.

Never forget Officer Sackett. Never stop fighting for justice.
