Welcome to the Washington County Fraternal Order of Police store.
To honor our country's 250th Anniversary, we have designed a commemorative patch with the proceeds going to the Charlestown Historical Society.
A little about the Charlestown Historical Society (From their website):
The CHS was formed in 1968, by a group of concerned citizens after one of the oldest schoolhouses in Rhode Island, the Narragansett Indian Schoolhouse in Charlestown, was destroyed. In 2007, after decades of progress with its mission, and the lack of storage, display and meeting space, the CHS board undertook the planning, fundraising and construction of this new building on land donated by Community 2000, a private benefactor. In 2013, the doors of the new CHS Archive opened to the public. We are proud to display Charlestown’s unique and diverse history and fulfill our commitment to Learn, Teach and Preserve the History of Charlestown, Rhode Island.
Washington County FOP
Lodge #40
The Washington County Fraternal Order of Police: Lodge #40 was founded in 1983 by Charter members: Robert Craig, Jack Shippee, John Trammell, Thomas Sharkey, Raoul Lefebvre, Vaughn Ballard, Dave Blackington, Ronald Fortune, Lorin Newell and Kevin Gallup. Thirty-nine (39) years later the members of the Charlestown Police Department have re-invested ourselves into the community we serve with public events and fundraisers. Taking ourselves into the 21st century is only one way which we are striving to serve our communities better.
