On March 29, Tampa Lodge donated $300 to the Police Benevolent Association on behalf of the family of Tampa’s fallen Master Police Officer Jesse Madsen. Tampa Lodge also posted condolences on their large sign on the busy Gandy Boulevard. Officer Madsen was killed in the line of duty while trying to stop a driver going the wrong way on Interstate 275 in Tampa, Florida. “He served in the Marine Corps. He served overseas. He’s a decorated combat veteran. He also served in the Florida National Guard. He served with three police units, until he settled here at the Tampa Police Department. So service was nothing new to him,” said Danny Alvarez with the Police Benevolent Association. He is survived by his spouse and three children. Officer Madsen’s badge, number 507, will be retired and his name will be etched into the Tampa Police Fallen Officers Memorial.
