The Honor Legion
of the
Police Department of the City of New York
Fidelis Ad Mortem
The Honor Legion, founded in 1900, is the oldest Fraternal
Organization in the New York City Police Department.
The Honor Legion is composed of members of the
Police Force of the City of New York, comprising all ranks,
who during the history of the Honor Legion have received Department
recognition and have been awarded medals of Honorable Mention for
deeds of valor performed at imminent risk of life or who have been
commended for meritorious acts at personal risk, and who are
entitled to wear the insignia of their Department.
It holds in one great bond of comradeship the
Honor
Members of the Department, the Finest of the Finest. It
recognizes no rank. It is a force within a force, a tower of
strength to combat evil; an inspiration from within, a beacon of
hope for the weak, a leaven for good. Its tenets:
self-respect, courage, loyalty and devotion to duty.
The underlying purpose of the Organization is to
render aid and comfort to the survivors of the Members of Service
who have made the supreme sacrifice in the performance of their
duty: (Fidelis Ad Mortem).
This purpose is carried out by the Members of the
Honor Legion with the thoughtfulness of mind that there but for the
grace of God go I.
The Honor Legion is a Fraternal Organization which
through social functions fosters comradeship and brotherhood
recognizing no ethnicity or religious differences.
