In January of 1993, a group of Officers, Sergeants, and Lieutenants from Joliet, Stateville, and Dwight Correctional Centers united for the first time to form a Lodge with the Fraternal Order of Police. The intention of this lodge is to include Correctional Officers, Sergeants, Lieutenants, and Parole Agents from every institution, who wishes to join. As of July 1st 1997 our Lodge has expanded to include Youth Supervisor’s II & III, K-9 Specialists, Parole Supervisors, Commanders, Chief’s of Security, Majors, Superintendents and Wardens.
The intention of the Executive Board and the members of Lodge #263, is to develop the respect and recognition that every officer in the department deserves, for the vital work that they do! By promoting the interests of Correctional Officers in all their job titles. Encourage a harmonious relationship amongst all badge carrying members throughout the state, and a closer relationship with our brothers and sisters in all other law enforcement communities. We as a lodge, distribute information devoted exclusively to matters concerning ALL correctional employees’ best interests and promoting high professional standards. To propose and promote legislation beneficial to correctional officers rights. And in addition, to take a legal action on those deemed detrimental.
