Today, we recognize an important anniversary in the history of the Fraternal Order of Police in the District of Columbia.

Our roots date back to October 1, 1966, when District of Columbia Lodge #1 was officially chartered. On August 19, 1983, our Lodge was formally constituted as Jerrard F. Young Lodge #1, forever carrying the name and honoring the sacrifice of MPD Officer Jerrard F. Young, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty on May 21, 1971.

Today, we proudly continue that tradition as the Jerrard F. Young District of Columbia State Lodge.

More than six decades after our founding, we remain grateful to those who built this organization and proud to carry forward the name of a hero whose legacy will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace, Officer Jerrard F. Young. 💙

This is well deserved and hard fought for our brothers and sisters at DC Police Union Lodge 2!

Settlement of 4 Scheduling Violations are in Member's Paychecks

The Union previously sent the membership an email which announced settlements in Class and Group Grievances filed by the Union regarding scheduling violations for prior deployments.

Members should have payouts in their checks for scheduling violations that occurred during the below four (4) teletype deployments. The total payout is listed below.

1. Teletype TT-06-059-24 (2024 4th of July & NATO Deployment)
2. Teletype TT-11-007-24 & 11-020-24 (2024 Election)
3. Teletype TT-05-017-25 (World Pride)
4. Teletype TT-05-018-25 (Army 250th)

Total Payout: $1,494,623.92

Members should see a line in their PeopleSoft paystub dated 08/12/26. This check will be for "14DR" (Fourteen Day Rule) pay.

In the settlement, MPD agreed to pay ALL affected members an additional HALF TIME PAY for ALL hours worked on their regularly assigned day off for these deployments. This additional half time will be paid on top of any overtime compensation anyone was already paid.

If members have any questions about the accuracy of their payments, please provide your Chief Steward with a screen shot of your "14DR" pay with your name and assignment.

Thank you to all the members who signed onto multiple grievances and to every other member for your continued support as we work to enforce the terms of our Collective Bargaining Agreement.

For members who are retired or separated from MPD: You are included in the payouts and you should expect to receive a hard check in the mail or a direct deposit. Please make sure your correct information is on file with HR.
