This year’s recipient of the Jack Dudek Member of the Year Award is Andy Maybo from Washington, DC. Andy began his law enforcement career in 1999 with the United States Capitol Police (USCP). He has assisted with six presidential inaugurations, numerous laying in states, was the initial police responder to the Congressman Steve Scalis shooting, was present for the 9/11 attacks and Anthrax, and has countless life-saving awards while on duty. He is one of the most decorated officers on USCP and was even named Officer of the Year in 2012.

Andy has been involved with the FOP since 1999. He moved up the ranks of the USCP FOP Labor Committee and was elected as Labor Chairman for the Capitol Police in 2004. During his tenure until 2007, he made many positive changes, including negotiating a contract and starting the USCP Scholarship program for officers’ children, which is still active today. He later went on to become the Vice President of the Washington, DC FOP Lodge #1, where he served for eight (8) years, before becoming President in 2014. During this time, he played an integral part in many lodge committees, including the DC FOP Gifts for Kids program and the DC Disaster Aid Response Team (DART). He was a key volunteer member for Lodge fundraising committee and was extremely active with the Make a Wish Foundation. Andy spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of his personal time, ensuring the business of the Order never faltered. He still serves on the Board of Directors for DC Lodge #1 and holds the position of Immediate Past President.

In 2006, Andy was assigned to the National FOP Memorial Committee. In 2008 he was appointed as the Committee Chairman. He was chosen for his strong sense of leadership and unity, knowledge of proper security protocols at the US Capitol, and the ability to forge strong bonds with law enforcement agencies across the Country. During his time as Chair, Andy dedicated countless hours ensuring the surviving families of the Nation’s fallen officers were properly honored. He continued to mentor future committee members, fostered camaraderie within the committee and strived to lead his committee in making each year’s Police Week better than the year before. In 2022, he stepped down as Chairman and was named to the National Law Enforcement Memorial Names Committee, which approves all names to be inscribed on the National Law Enforcement Memorial.

Maybo has also been appointed to numerous Department of Justice Committees, where he continues to serve as the longest sitting board member of the Congressional Badge of Bravery selection board. He still serves as a volunteer for countless organizations and recently has been involved with REBOOT, a faith-based, peer-led course that helps first responders, and their families, heal from critical incident stress and trauma. Brother Maybo never stops helping cops and his community. His selfless service to anyone in need is beyond reproach.

The FOP is proud to present Andy Maybo with the 2024 Jack Dudek Member of the Year Award. Congratulations!
