Taking over the President spot of Lodge 87 is Salisbury Traffic Officer Brad Jordan, who was the current State Trustee of Lodge 87.  Brad Jordan is an MPO with the Salisbury Police Department and is assigned to the Traffic Enforcement Unit.   Brad is a Certified Instructor for NC and was awarded the Ernest and Candy Curtis Hero award, by the Salisbury Civitans, for saving the life of a man who had went into cardiac arrest.

     The vacant State Trustee position will be filled by MPO Christopher Schenk.  Schenk worked for the Spencer Police Department before making a move to the Salisbury Police Department a few years ago.  Schenk is currently assigned to the Drug Interdiction team and is currently an applicant for the vacant Salisbury Police Chief job. 

     The other vacancy within Lodge 87 was the SGT at Arms position.  This spot will be filled by Salisbury PD Gang Officer Suad Jakupovic.  Suad has worked hard since coming to the Salisbury Police Department and his hard work paid off with an assignment to the newly formed Gang Unit of the Salisbury Police Department. 

      The remaining positions within the lodge were retained by the current person in that position.  They are as follows:

Vice President - Patrick Smith, detective with the Salisbury PD

2nd Vice President - Adam Bouk, Gang Unit Officer with Salisbury PD

Secretary - Todd Sides, Detective Salisbury PD

Treasurer - Mat Benjamin, MPO Salisbury PD

Chaplain - Jason Robertson, MPO Salisbury PD

     Due to Christopher Schenk's movement to State Trustee there is now a vacancy within the Lodge Trustees.  This will be filled by appointment from the new lodge Secretary.  We thank all the people who are officers of Lodge 87 for the hard work and dedication they have to the Law Enforcement Community in Rowan County.
