THANK YOU to all the lodge members who took time out from their personal and professional lives to pass out Child ID / DNA kits during Smithfield's HAM AND YAM Festival on May 5th and 6th.  The ID Complete is the best of both worlds. This Kit combines fingerprinting and Whatman FTA DNA Technology. The DNA Technology is patented and widely used in crime labs and through state law enforcement applications nationally. Historically, successful storage and recovery of DNA required test tubes, hazardous buffers, ultra-low freezers and storage media.  DNA can be stored at room temperature for years and remain stable for analysis. This is an amazing product which lodge 88 was happy to share with the community we are sworn to protect.

On Friday, April 6th members of the Johnston County Fraternal Order of Police brought smiles to the faces of a number of Johnston County residents by delivering Easter food baskets for those in need. Pictured are Lodge President Jason Hutchins and 2nd Vice President Jason Barnes with Elsie Sellers of Clayton.

On December 26, 2006 members of the Johnston County Fraternal Order of Police not only provided the funding for the Clayton Senior Center's meals on wheels program - they made the deliveries themselves.  Thanks to the men and women and family  members of Lodge 88, some 30 seniors were provided with a hot meal and warms smiles.
