LETTER FROM THE LODGE PRESIDENT

President
Capital of New Hampshire Lodge 10
Fraternal Order of Police

Greetings friends of Law Enforcement,

Welcome to the Capital of New Hampshire, Lodge #10, of the Fraternal Order of Police!

As elected President I am so immensely proud to be at the helm of such a wonderful organization. I take equal pride in being able to bring the Fraternal Order of Police to New Hampshire’s Law Enforcement community at such a crucial time. Never, in my 30-year law enforcement career, had I seen a time when it was more important for all Law Enforcement professionals to unite and bring stability to our noble profession.

Friends, I will not celebrate the demoralizing and malicious legislation and sentiments that have been expressed across the country, and now within our own state, by printing it here today. Suffice to say that our Law Enforcement Professionals are under certain and constant attack. It is clear that occurrences which happened several states away have unfortunately been perceived as being representative of us all. Nothing can be further from the truth! I have worked in the State of New Hampshire, alongside many of its Law Enforcement Officers since my coming here in 2003. I can tell you that I have never been more impressed with the caliber of honorable men and women that wear the badge and face our fears every day in this Great State.

To my fellow Law Enforcement Officers statewide, I ask that you join us, and partner with the nearly 360, 000 other officers nationwide that have found their unified voice through the FOP. Let’s showcase our professionalism and the honorable way in which we conduct our business here in New Hampshire. Moreover, let's tell them that we are not those that stood apart in wrong doings but rather that we are the ones who band together in Honor and apparently have faded in familiarity.

To the amazing citizens of New Hampshire, by supporting our lodge, you are showing your recognition of our dedicated efforts, and the professionalism with which we serve you in this state. I ask that you please help me to bring a calming assurance to our New Hampshire Law Enforcement Professionals that their dedicated efforts are not in vain. In supporting, protecting, empowering, and healing those who protect us, that they may better serve our communities without hesitation, mental reservation, or secret evasions whatsoever.

In closing, I would like to thank you all for visiting us here at www.fop10nh.com , and I invite you all to please visit us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Fraternal-Order-of-Police-Capital-Lodge-10-NH-103968811740606/?ti=as
