ILFOP Recruitment Event
The Illinois Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) State Lodge is hosting a recruitment fair for prospective law enforcement and corrections officers on Wednesday, October 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the main campus of Joliet Junior College, 1215 Houbolt Road in Joliet. Numerous local, county, state, federal and college law enforcement and criminal justice agencies will be available to speak to anyone who is interested in a career in law enforcement. The recruitment fair is free and open to the public.
“Departments nationwide are experiencing staffing shortages and are having trouble finding enough potential employees, so now is the time to seek a career in law enforcement,” said Illinois FOP State Lodge President Chris Southwood. “You can make a difference in the lives of your fellow citizens and receive good pay and benefits at the same time. It’s a challenging but rewarding career.” The October 11 recruitment fair is geared toward anyone who is interested in becoming a law enforcement, corrections, emergency telecommunications, parole or probation officer.
The Fraternal Order of Police, founded in 1915, is the largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers in the United States. With a proud tradition of officers representing officers, the FOP is the most respected and most recognized police organization in the country. The Illinois FOP, chartered in 1963, is the second largest State Lodge, proudly representing more than 34,000 active duty and retired police officers – more than 10 percent of all FOP members nationwide.
2023 FOP National Conference
In August 2023, the National Fraternal Order of Police will conduct its 66th National Conference and Exposition at the MGM Grand Hotel & Convention Center in Las Vegas. This event represents 108 years of professional law enforcement experience for the largest and oldest law enforcement labor organization in the United States.
The National Fraternal Order of Police holds a National Conference every two years to set the goals and agenda for the organization. The business of the order is conducted, seminars are offered, Constitution & By-Laws are reviewed and changed, the Executive Board is elected, National Trustees and Committee Chairs report their activities, and exhibitors from around the country showcase their products and services at our EXPO.
Law enforcement officials from all over the country are expected to attend, including police chiefs, administrators, sheriffs, training officers, fleet managers, federal officers, corrections officers and procurement staff.

24th Annual Shop with a Sheriff
For over 20 years, Lodge #94 has partnered with MorningStar Mission in Joliet for our Shop with a Sheriff event. Each year, this partnership allows our members to team up with local children and help them shop for their families during the holiday season at no cost to the children or their families. All children like to have gifts to give their family members during the holidays. Our goal with this event is that by being there to help them shop, we can hopefully reduce some of the stresses that go along with this so that they can focus on being children and enjoy the season with their families.
Any Lodge #94 members wishing to volunteer, please contact Lodge Secretary Deputy E. Vasick.
