For the
fourth consecutive year, Johnston County Fraternal Order
of Police Lodge 88 has donated various school supplies
to Johnston County Schools to assist disadvantaged
school children. During fundraising efforts held from
April through July, lodge members collected more than
$9,000 that helped pay for 700 book bags, boxes of
crayons and bags of pencils and rulers as well as 1,400
packs of loose leaf paper, spiral notebooks and glue
sticks. Image Builders of Clayton also assisted with
providing supplies. FOP members led by Lodge 88 past
president Jason Hutchins and treasurer Ron Freeman
delivered the supplies to JCS Facility Services on
Monday, where they were packaged by Central Office and
Facility Services staff. Representatives from all 44 JCS
schools this week will distribute the supplies to 700
select students.
A special thanks to Jason Hutchins for coordinating
the event and ensuring it's success and to all those who
donated to Lodge 88 during our annual fundraiser;
without your support we could not give back to the
communities we serve. |

OVER 2000 Child DNA KITS
HANDED OUT!!!
|
 |
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. |
