The lodge is nearly 700 members strong with a membership consisting of Law Enforcement Officers in the Local, State and National levels from the counties of Charleston, Dorchester and Colleton.Tri-County Lodge 3 is not a union and does not become involved in collective bargaining. Our purpose is serving the Law Enforcement Officers in the Tri-County and building strong ties in the community and our youth. Our lodge recognizes the outstanding efforts of our Law Enforcement Officers with our Annual Awards ceremony, provides financial assistance to the families of officers killed or critically injured in the line of duty in the State of South Carolina, pays tribute to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and works to pass legislation that will improve the working conditions of the Law Enforcement Officers and provide safer communities.
