President's Message
Welcome to the Clearwater Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 10
Robert L. Pitmann Memorial Lodge web site. This web site is
dedicated to those members of the Clearwater Lodge who have gone
before us holding the thin blue line in our profession. Many have
retired and moved on, but others were taken away from us by the
brutality and the high cost of wearing a shield. The Police
Officer above all others is required to practice the greatest act
of religious training, which is sacrifice. We must always take a
moment to honor the sacrifice that others have made protecting our
freedom and the citizens of the City of Clearwater from criminal
enterprise.
The executive board of Lodge 10 is made up of Police Officers
who have walked the beat protecting the streets. They understand
the unique nature of law enforcement and the challenges that it
may bring to its membership. There is a strong tradition of
representation and esprit de corps that insures fidelity to duty
and the unbreakable bond of our brothers and sisters to being a
Police Officer. We walk with the burden and the humility that we
are mere ambassadors to the needs of the membership which we
represent. It is in the strength and courage of our membership
that we find courage when courage seems to fail, to regain faith
when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create hope when
it appears that it has gone astray. We are the executive board for
Lodge 10, your ambassadors, your voice, your leadership.
The Clearwater Fraternal Order of Police is the exclusive Lodge
for the Police Officers who serve the City of Clearwater. It was
founded in 1957 and continues to strive for excellence in the
fields of fraternalism, labor, and dedication to those who serve
in the police profession. Please use the web site as a tool and if
there are any questions please feel free to contact me or any
other member of the executive board.
Fraternally,
Jonathan
Walser
FOP 10 Lodge President
