Our Long and Proud History

Our FOP John Marshall Lodge #2, was chartered in January 1952.  On July 25, 1953, the Grand Lodge, Fraternal Order of Police met with members of our Lodge, along with members of the Old Dominion Lodge #1 out of Roanoke, and the Commodore Lodge #3 out of Norfolk.

This meeting started the groundwork for chartering the Virginia State Lodge, Fraternal Order of Police.  A few years later on August 20, 1959, the Virginia State Auxiliary was officially chartered.

Over time the Commonwealth of Virginia became known as having one of the largest and best organized FOP State Lodges in the nation.  We are proud of our members and all our board members who made and continue to make this great accomplishment possible.
