• The FOP of Ohio is Thankful!
    Posted On: Nov 27, 2013

    Sisters and Brothers,

    The Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio has so much to be thankful for this year.

    We are thankful for you.  The membership is what makes this the greatest organization in the world.

    We are thankful for our retirees, who have fought so many battles from which we still benefit.

    We are thankful for all of your families and the FOP Auxiliary.   The love and support that they provide while we are working nights and weekends and long hours allow us to be in this profession.   Their sacrifice is not unnoticed and we are very appreciative.

    We are thankful for the FOPA.   Your strong support of the FOP is awesome and we cannot thank all of you enough.

    We are thankful for our political supporters, who realize that public safety is the primary job of government and that those who risk their lives to protect our communities deserve a seat at the table.

    We are thankful for those serving our nation, in the United States military. 

    We are the most thankful that line of duty deaths have declined, so far, in 2014 by 12%.   There is NO line of duty death in Ohio so far, according to www.odmp.org.

    That being said, there are 92 families in the USA who will be gathering for Thanksgiving this year without their law enforcement officer, who gave the ultimate sacrifice in 2013.   We are thankful for the men and women who come to work every day to protect our families, knowing that they may be asked to risk their lives in service of our community.

    On behalf of the Board of Trustees of the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio, please have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving!

    Jay McDonald
    Ohio FOP President
