Statement from the Maryland State Lodge

Candidate Dan Cox does not have the approval to use the FOP Logo in his political ad. Additionally, his campaign finished 3rd in our endorsement process behind no endorsement (2nd) and Governor Moore (1st). Our process requires a 60% threshold for endorsement and no candidate met that requirement.

Godspeed to our DC Police Union family. May the Lord give Brother Bennetts family and coworkers strength.

The DC Police Union joins in mourning the tragic line-of-duty loss of Officer Terry Bennett.

Officer Bennett, an eight-year member of the Metropolitan Police Department, lost his life on December 23, 2025, after being struck by a vehicle while rendering assistance to a stranded motorist on I-695. His commitment to service and to the residents of the District defined his career and reflected the very best of this profession.

We offer our sincere condolences to Officer Bennett’s family, friends, and fellow officers. The sacrifice he made in the service of others will not be forgotten, and his dedication to duty will forever be remembered by the law enforcement community.

May he rest in eternal peace, and may his loved ones find strength in the honor of his service.
