On December 11th, 1999 the Missouri State
Fraternal Order of Police continued its path towards the future by
cutting the ribbon and dedicating the new state lodge office. The
office, located only blocks from the capitol in Jefferson City, will
be an asset for members for years to come.
"We finally have a place to call home," said State President Tom
Mayer. "It took many years, many fine leaders and a supportive
membership to get where we are today."
The office is staffed during business hours and serves as a resource
center for Missouri members. This is the first time that the
Missouri State FOP has owned their own building.

Our Conference Room
As of April of 2002 the remodeling of the
basement at the State Lodge building has been completed. For
those of you who never visited the State Office, the basement was an
unusable and uninhabitable old-fashioned basement. With the
rehab, we now have a large meeting room that will comfortably seat
about 75 people, 2 additional bathrooms, a kitchenette and ample
storage. With this addition our value has increased, according
to out insurance carrier, about 45%. Besides the financial
advantage, we will now be able to hold all of our Board of Trustee
meetings in our own facility, ending the need to have to rent hotel
space and transfer equipment back and forth from the
proceedings. The building has already been used during the
Memorial and for our last Day on the Hill. In the future, we
will be hosting political events on a regular basis, furthering the
influence that the FOP now has in Jefferson City.
