The Anne Arundel County Police Department honored local hero George Phelps, Jr. this month by, posthumously, making him an Anne Arundel County Police Officer.
As a police officer, he would have been encouraged to join our FOP, and therefore, we recently voted to make him an honorary member of our FOP.
Born in 1926, Brother Phelps was the nephew of the late Wiley H. Bates and he graduated Wiley H. Bates High School. Bates was the only high school in the county that black students could go to until the mid-1960s when segregation ended in Anne Arundel County. After high school, he attended North Carolina A&T College and joined the U.S. Army, which took him to Europe during World War II for service as a military police officer.
With his education, military, and policing background, he would have made the perfect addition to the Anne Arundel County Police Department. But in 1950, not many people could imagine a black man hired to a position where he could arrest a white person.

Ask your elected officials to take the time to work WITH our law enforcement officers to put in place laws that will actually make a difference for our officers and our communities. They deserve your support and the due process that their jobs require as they put their lives on the line every day for our safety. |

Each year, our FOP 70 Legislative Committee visits Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to participate in FOP Day on the Hill. For 10 years we have participated in this important event with Legislative Chair Mike Shier and we have had results! This year will be no different...
Actually, it will be very different. We will attend a briefing by the FOP National President and meet with every Maryland Congressional and Senatorial Office to discuss the National Lodge’s legislative agenda via ZOOM. We believe this year will be as sucessful as ever provided we all have good connections with our connections.
These meetings were of great value to our officers and to our elected officials and we should all be glad we have members who volunteer their time to make sure that the message to elected officials is not lost in translation, but provided with face to face discussions about what we expect from them and what they can expect from us in return.
