A message from your2ndVice PresidentBrothers and SistersMy name is Allen Herald, I am the 2ndvice president of the FOP Executive Board. I joined the MNPD in 1977 and worked in a patrol capacity for 5 years. In 1982 I transferred to K-9 and remained there until I transferred to Specialized investigations Narcotics in 2002 working a drug dog. I retired in 2007. I have been a member of the FOP since 1977 and I have been on your board of directors for ????? years. I have held several different positions through my tenure. I am also the director of the Andrew Jackson Police Youth Camp which is located on Old Hickory lake in Mt Juliet. As director, I oversee a team of solicitors employed by the camp that raises the money needed to run the camp. I also work with the directors and counselors of each camp to make sure they have what they need to run their week at camp. The FOP has been taking less fortunate and at-risk children to this camp since the late 1960s. We pick up approximately 50 kids each week of camp on Monday morning and return them home on Saturday.The first time I worked a camp was in 1982 and I have been hooked ever since. I can assure you, if you ever have the opportunity to work the camp, you will understand why. Having the opportunity to work with some of these kids from Nashville is hard work, but also very rewarding. A lot of them are just looking for someone to take the time to talk to them and listen. In all the years I have worked these camps one of the most rewarding experiences was when a former camper approached me in public and reminded me of the great time he had in my camp in 1982. This has happened several times over the years and it never gets old! If you are interested in working one of the camps please give me a call and I will get you in touch with one of our directors.I am also the Chairman of our CPR committee “Caring Police Respond”. We have a sponsor that has donated monies so that you, the officers on the street, can make a difference in our community. This program was set up for officers working in our communities to help people that have hit hard times. It is designed for officers to give people what they may need to get back on their feet. As part of this program, we recently distributed $100.00 Visa cards that supervisors at each precinct and some specialized divisions have. If you identify an immediate need that $100 can cover, contact your supervisor to get a card. We have paid for hotel rooms, towed vehicles, beds where the kids were sleeping on the floor, clothes for school, utility bills, rent, food just to name a few. These funds are not for paying monthly bills. It is to help get that person back on their feet. What better way for you, the officer, to build friendships in the community where you work. If you can use this service, go to the “Caring Police Respond” tab on our web site Nashvillefop.org for instructions. If you need any assistance you can call me anytime 615-870-8017. In closing I have been a proud member of this lodge for 42 years. We are a membership driven organization. Your board of directors works for you. We do what our membership directs us to do. With that being said our meetings are the 1stMonday of every month at 1900hrs and we will feed you dinner. Please come to your meetings and get involved in your FOP.Fraternally,Allen Herald2ndVice President615-870-8017
CPR ProgramOfficer Sampson encountered this family on her shift who did not have enough money to purchase diapers or food for the children. Through the FOP’s CPR program, Officer Sampson was able to take this family to the store to purchase them some diapers and food. This is what the CPD program is all about! Building bridges with our community through positive interaction and assistance. Great work Officer Sampson!
