Any member who has claims that were not paid by the Thin Blue Line Benefits has until the end of this month to get the proof of claim documentation turned in to the Ohio Department of Insurance. The form to file is linked below

The hearing regarding holding TBL in contempt of the Franklin County Common Pleas Court was postponed until October 6.

We will update you with any new information we receive, and we ask that all local lodges forward out this information as well because once the August 31 date comes and goes, any member who failed to file will no longer have this recourse available to them.

Our Lodge is collecting Acme Fresh Market receipts from Aug 1, 2026 thru Feb 15, 2027.

If you are willing to help, there are several ways to assist.
1. There will be a drop box in the lobby of the Stow Safety Center near the records window.

2. If you are local to Stow, I can have someone pick them up from you, if needed, please email [email protected] and I can arrange a pickup for you.

3. You can mail your receipts to Stow FOP Lodge 82, PO Box 1417, Stow, OH 44224

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

National Police Week 2026 💙

This week, we honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our communities and stand with the families, friends, and colleagues who carry their legacy forward.

National Police Week traces back to 1962, when President John F. Kennedy designated May 15 as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. Each year, the week that includes May 15 is set aside to remember, reflect, and show our gratitude.

We remember the fallen. We support the survivors. We thank those who continue to serve.
