LOS ANGELES — Three people, including one who works for California Attorney General Kamala Harris, were charged after claiming to operate a police department with jurisdiction in 33 states and Mexico and that traces its roots back 3,000 years, authorities said Wednesday.
Brandon Kiel, David Henry and Tonette Hayes were taken into custody last week on suspicion of impersonating officers as members of the Masonic Fraternal Police Department, Los Angeles County sheriff’s officials said.
Detectives believe other people may be involved in the operation, sheriff’s spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said.
....
The investigation started after various police chiefs in California received a letter in late January that announced new leadership for the Masonic Fraternal Police Department.
In the letter, the group claims it is registered with the state and is informing the chief it will be working with “Grandmasters, as well as fraternities and sororities throughout Sovereign Jurisdictions around the country.”
The Jan. 20 letter obtained by The Associated Press was copied to Harris. It was written by Kiel, identified as its chief board of director, and Hayes, the grand chief director, and includes a badge emblem with Henry’s name below.
In the letter, the group claims it is registered with the state and is informing the chief it will be working with “Grandmasters, as well as fraternities and sororities throughout Sovereign Jurisdictions around the country.”
The letter claims there are 5,686 lodges and that the department “will be able to acquire intel that is not accessible to non-fraternal entities.” It said one aim of the department was to restore public trust.
A website for the Masonic police force says the group was created by the Knights Templar in 1100 B.C.

Why only 33 states and not all 57?
Kingfish, please pick up the courtesy phone at the Lodge.
California maybe in drought and it maybe legal in other states, but still Cali has access to the best sh.... money can buy.

I said it was a lie and lookie here Ha
Not sure if it is a joke or just more anti-Masonic propaganda.
In either case, any Free Mason would immediately recognize several false statements that do not match anything truly associated with Free Masonry.
But then, there are people out there that will believe any lie that comes across the web.
The Knights Templar Code perhaps?
ha ha ha!

I doubt the three in question thus far even know what a Mason is. I mean one of them is a woman. Women can’t be Mason’s can they?
Man, when I joined the Knights Templar, all I got was a sword, and I had to pay for it myself.
There were no knights of any sort in 1100 B.C.
Templars are supposed to be poor. Their seal depicted two knights sharing one horse.
Give or take a few years.
Hey, hey Ralphie boy!
