WHAT WE DO:

Lodge 35 was formed to promote a more personal and efficient cooperation between the law enforcement officers in Montgomery County, Maryland, and to foster enforcement of the law, promote order, to encourage social, charitable, and educational activities among all law enforcement officers. We pledge to increase the efficiency of the law enforcement and thus more firmly establish the confidence of the public in the service dedicated to the protection of life and property.

HISTORY:

Since receiving our Chapter in 1969, the purpose of Lodge 35 is to uphold and defend the constitution and laws of the United States, the State of Maryland and Montgomery County; to advance the science of law enforcement; to promote the administration of justice; and to uphold the honor of law enforcement through improving the conditions of law enforcement officers.
