The newly established Ron R. Phillips Memorial Lodge #207 was chartered in March of 2011 to support the members and provide a means to interact with our community in a charitable fashion. Ron R. Phillips Memorial FOP 207 of the Fraternal Order of Police is comprised of and represents primarily active and retired federal law enforcement officers throughout the Cleveland area. Ron R. Phillips was a federal law enforcement officer, special forces soldier and a loving father who passed away in July 2010. FOP 207 was created to honor Ron R. Phillips and all its intrepid members who proudly preserve the laws of this great nation. Our exclusive members sacrifice is a testament to their commitment to the United States of America.
The lodge's mission is to further promote the interests of our organization, members and community. Our goal is to strive forward to foster good will and develop genuine community relationships for charitable purposes. Funds raised are used to assist agents/officers and their families during a crisis that is duty related or from a catastrophic loss. Funds are also used to provide support for our organizational expenses related to lodge and charitable expenditures.
