FOP Lodge 5 2018 Retirement Dinner

Christmas Dinner Dec. 4, 2018

t takes a unique and dedicated individual to become a police officer. A profession where you see the best in people and the worst. Your life depends on two people, your sector partner, your best friend and the radio dispatcher, a person who knows by your voice tone if you need help. Last night over 100 New Castle County Police retirees and RECOM retirees had a Christmas Party. People we haven’t seen In a while; including the last person from the Levy Court system of government and the very first Lodge 5 President of Fraternal Order of Police. A great time with the best friends a person could have.
