Hello Brothers and Sisters,

As you know, the Fraternal Order of Police of Ohio has its own charity, the Critical Incident Response Foundation that provides for peer counseling for first responders who are subjected to critical incident stress.  This program literally saves the lives and/or careers of our brothers and sisters in law enforcement. 

This program is funded through a combination of your dues and grant funding.  In an effort to prepare for the day that the grant funding is no longer available (as we all know it will not be forever) the FOP of Ohio is sponsoring the 2nd Annual Critical Incident Response Foundation Golf Outing.

Please join your friends at the Foxfire Golf Club in suburban Columbus on August 4th.  You will get to play on a great course, have a great meal, you will get to have a great time and the whole while….you will get to support a very important cause. 

If you are not a golfer, you can support OUR charity by locating some door prizes and/or raffle prizes.  You can also support OUR charity by locating Hole Sponsors.  Our Hole Sponsors from last year are listed below:

H.R. 218 Prevails in South Dakota Case!!! PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 25 November 2008 04:03
 [From Grand Lodge site   11/18/2008]     Chuck Canterbury, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, was pleased, but not surprised, by news that charges were dismissed against four qualified law enforcement officers who were indicted for violating South Dakota's law against carrying concealed firearms during a visit to that State.

"Dismissal of the charges was absolutely the right decision," Canterbury said. "The judge's ruling correctly applied the Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act, which is better known to FOP members as 'H.R. 218.'"

Four off-duty, active law enforcement officers, three Federal and one local, were charged for carrying concealed firearms while visiting a bar in Sturgis, South Dakota. The four were carrying lawfully under the provisions of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act (LEOSA), or 18 USC 926B, which exempts qualified active law enforcement officers from State and local prohibitions on the carriage of concealed firearms. The exemption does not attach if the officer is under the influence.
