ABOUT THE MONMOUTH COUNTY

FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE LODGE 73

Our lodge has been very involved in many activities with The Ocean of Love (Kids with cancer).  In 1997 TO 2001 some of the kids came to our Christmas party and again in December of 2002.   All 41 kids in attendance In Dec.of 2002 sat on Santa's lap and received a gift and had their picture taken.  We had a pumpkin painting party with the kids for Halloween 1997, it was a great success.  The lodge also had it's third annual picnic on August 30, 1998 again we invited The Ocean Love to participate. We had another Halloween party for the Ocean of Love kids in October 1998 TO 2002 all were a huge success.  We had our most recent Halloween party for the kids.  In October of 2002 attended by over 55 children and their families, this was our biggest and best ever, see our news page for more information and photos.  The Lodge had a Halloween party again in 2003 for the kids, this is a yearly event. Our 2004 Halloween party again was a great success and we thank Angela Striano for all her help with this years party a job well done we had over 45 children and their families and fun was had by all..

Most of this happens because of the dedication of our Past President Josephine Corbiscello founder of this event and our new President Mike Goula, our Treasurer Ralph A. Striano and Honorary Member Angela Striano Ralph's daughter who did all the shopping and preparation.

The Fraternal Order of Police is comprised of active and retired law enforcement officers of all ranks from all branches of government Federal, State, County, and Local. Members work side by side to improve the profession and serve the public.

At all levels, Local, State, and National, the FOP provides members with professional legal defense, a powerful collective bargaining voice, and advocacy for law enforcement legislation, and seminars for professional development.

FOP members strongly believe in Community involvement, and support such organizations as Easter Seals, Special Olympics, and in New Jersey, the Deborah Heart & Lung Center.

The FOP also provides members with opportunities to meet fellow officers away from the job, to encourage friendships and networking. Through its many services and activities the FOP is a family that helps members' in good times and in bad.

In 1915, times were bleak, police officers worked 12-hour shifts, 365 days a year. There were no police unions to fight for the better working conditions, wages and benefits.

Martin Toole and Delbert Nagle, two Pittsburgh Police Officers had enough of the horrendous working conditions. Together with 21 other police officers they formed Fort Pitt Lodge #1, Fraternal Order of Police and their first meeting was held on May 14, 1915. From those humble beginnings, the Fraternal Order of Police has grown into the largest professional police organization in the United States with over 311,000 members. We have carried on the tradition started back in 1915, committed to improving the working conditions of Law Enforcement officers. The FOP remains the #1 voice for Law Enforcement in Washington and around the country.

Our site is constantly under re-construction, please come back from time to time.  We hope to see you again soon.  To visit our News page for up to date happenings CLICK HERE       If any member has anything you think should be added to this site email me at my address below.
