Welcome to
the Howard County Sheriff’s Office Fraternal Order of
Police Lodge #131 web site. We were founded in 2004 and
consist of 29 members. These members are Deputy
Sheriff’s, Courthouse Security Officers, Retired
personnel, and Associate members.
Howard
County Sheriff’s Office F.O.P. Lodge #131 was formed to
protect the men and women who serve the Howard County
Sheriff’s Office. We are committed to improving the
working conditions of our law enforcement officers and
the safety of those who serve through education,
legislation, information, community involvement, and
employee representation.
As the
president of this Lodge I am committed to the following:
-
To
address the needs of the sworn Deputies of Howard
County.
-
Ensure
the citizens of Howard County, whom we represent,
the best possible law enforcement protection we are
able to provide.
-
Encourage
social, charitable, and educational activities for
our membership.
-
And
Support and defend the Constitution of the United
States of America, the laws of the State of
Maryland, and those of Howard County Maryland.
The future
growth of the Lodge will depend on the dedication of our
members, Active and Associate, and we will rely on the
continued support from the citizens of Howard County,
the Maryland State Lodge, and The National Lodge to keep
Howard County law enforcement a profession in which the
members and the citizens remain proud of.
Fraternally
Yours,
Robert
E. Collins

Howard County Sheriff’s Lodge #131
