The Masonic Fraternal Organization is the oldest and most respected organization in the “World.” Grand Masters around the various states are facing serious safety concerns for their Jurisdictions and their family members. The first Police Department was created by the "Knights Templar's" back in 1100 B.C.
The Masonic Fraternal Police Department, (M.F.P.D.) is the Knights Templar's!
When asked what is the difference between The Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other Police Departments the answer is simple for us. We were here first! We are born into this Organization our bloodlines go deeper then an application. This is more then a job it is an obligation.
The Masonic Fraternal Police Department (M.F.P.D.) is a Masonic Sovereign Jurisdiction (Municipality) located within the incorporated City of Santa Clarita, California. The Chief of Police is Honorable Grand Master David Henry 33º was elected and is Governed by a Grand Supreme Council, and 33 Masonic Jurisdictions. He currently oversees a 1/2 Million members throughout the United States.
We are not “Sovereign Citizens’ nor do we condone terrorist activity, sovereign citizens or clandestine!

An aide to California Attorney General Kamala Harris has been arrested along with two others for allegedly operating an illegitimate "police department" that traces its origins to the Knights Templar.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department announced that the three suspects were taken into custody last week on suspicion of impersonating police officers through their roles in the so-called Masonic Fraternal Police Department.
Among them is Brandon Kiel, 36, who has worked as deputy director of community affairs at the California Department of Justice -- which is led by Harris, also a Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate. Kiel was arrested on suspicion of misusing his government ID.
A spokeswoman at the department told FoxNews.com on Wednesday that Kiel is now on administrative leave.
"We cannot comment on the ongoing personnel matter or criminal investigation," the spokeswoman said in an email.
The Masonic Fraternal Police Department, while not a recognized law enforcement arm, maintains it has existed for 3,000 years and claims jurisdiction in 33 states and Mexico.
The Los Angeles Times reported that suspicions about the group's presence in California were aroused when local police chiefs got a letter in January announcing its new leadership. A man claiming to be Kiel reportedly called law enforcement agencies to schedule meetings.
According to the Times, investigators found badges, weapons and other law enforcement materials when they searched two sites. Also arrested were Tonette Hayes, 56, and David Henry, 46.
The group's website claims it is linked to the ancient Knights Templar.
The site says: "When asked what is the difference between The Masonic Fraternal Police Department and other Police Departments the answer is simple for us. We were here first!" It claims to be part of a special jurisdiction located with Santa Clarita, Calif. -- while stressing they are not part of the "sovereign citizens" movement.
Bump for later
Should be interesting to see how this plays out in the media.
Hard to imagine why these people would be involved in something like this. They should know that impersonating a LEO is a serious offence.
I also can’t believe that actual Masons would be involved in something like this.
I know a number of Masons and they are all very normal law abiding persons of excellent character.
This is one big load of horse shat some policemen are masons but they don’t have there own police force nor do they police themselves this is a conspiracy group load of crap !
Heard something about this on the local news. Weird story. What is this about?
I don’t remember the movie
So I don’t get the reference.
It’s about the land of fruits and nuts ;-)
We are not “Sovereign Citizens’ nor do we condone terrorist activity, sovereign citizens or clandestine!
they protest too much!!!
That inverted pentagram (center top on the badge) sends cold chills down my spine. That is not a Masonic symbol, is it?
The Mason Lodge in my town has that symbol on the on the gate.
This group is to Freemasonry what Westboro Baptist “Church” is to Christianity. BOGUS.
Almost sounds like a “Propaganda Due” type of thing.
I have to call BullS*** on this. As a Past Master of a Masonic Lodge as well as a 32 degree Mason and member of the local Scottish Rite and York Rite groups I can say I have NEVER heard of Masonic Police Force or any claim of a police group being descended from the Knights Templar.
But if you had heard of them you’d be sworn to secrecy and not be able to tell about it right? /SO
Actually no. At this point in history most, if not all Masonic rituals can be found online or in books readily available for sale on Amazon. The Masonic group known as Knights Templar is part of the York Rite and is Christian in nature.
Thats for the Eastern star, women in masonry and the childrens group.
