In my Bible study this week, I came across Daniel 12:3. In this verse, Daniel is prophesying about a specific group. These are people who are different from the rest of civilization based on the way they act and the wisdom they possess.
As 2024 draws to a close and the peaceful hush of winter settles over us, we take this moment to reflect on the many blessings we have experienced this year. From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for your unwavering support of the Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers-USA. Your prayers, encouragement, and contributions have made an eternal difference in the lives of officers across the nation.

On August 30, the Criminal Justice Department of Bryan College in Dayton, TN hosted FCPO-USA Executive Director Paul Lee to speak to their Intro to Criminal Justice class. A retired Chattanooga Police Department Captain, Paul brought a wealth of knowledge, sharing both professional insights and personal stories from his 29-year law enforcement career. Paul’s visit provided the students with a unique opportunity to learn firsthand about the challenges and rewards of serving in law enforcement, as well as the importance of Christian faith and integrity in the profession. We are deeply grateful to the Bryan College Criminal Justice Department for giving Paul the opportunity to inspire and educate the next generation of criminal justice professionals.
