Mission Statement

Our mission is to promote fellowship, community outreach, and positive relationships between the men and women of law enforcement and those we serve in Lake County.

About Us

In 1973 FOP Lodge 66 was created as a fraternal organization for the men and women of the Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Even though fellowship is a component of this organization we feel that our primary role is to help those in need. Over the years we have raised money and awareness for programs such as the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run and Shop with a Sheriff. Along with those programs we’ve also contributed to charity organizations such as the 100 Club of Illinois, thE WERTHy Foundation, and Toys for Tots.
