| A Brief History of the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #74 |
In 1947, local police officers had a vision of forming their own Fraternal Order of Police Lodge. These visionaries worked to establish what is now known as Eastern Hamilton County Ohio Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #74. A charter was issued by the National and State Lodges for the formation of Lodge #74 and was signed into effect October 21, 1947. These same members worked towards incorporating the Lodge and became successful when articles of incorporation were issued by the State of Ohio on June 17, 1955. Since the formation of our Lodge, we have realized steady growth and development. The original Lodge hall was dedicated in 1965 and was located on Bonham Road in Wyoming. This hall was later sold and the search was on for a new meeting location. In 1994, members of the building committee and executive board purchased the current site of our hall. The building was renovated and a dedication celebration was performed at our current location of 11033 Reading Road in Sharonville. This same location was the site of our 50 year anniversary in 1997. As we have entered into a new century, we still continue to see the growth of our Lodge. As the years continue, our current members and Executive Board can only hope to add to the legacy which surrounds our Lodge. With nearly 400 members, both active duty and retired, we have become what was always striven for…a fraternal order. |
