Our History
The Emerald Society of Minnesota is a Non-Profit charitable association of Law Enforcement officials from the State of Minnesota and contributions can be Tax-Deductable under IRS section 501(c)(3) [Consult your Tax Advisor]. We raise funds to directly support the families of fallen Officers in the state, as well as, support a number of local Police and Irish Charities.
The Emerald Society is charged with supporting the MN Pipes and Drums - Law Enforcement Auxillary, who play free of charge at any Officer’s funeral who is killed in the line of duty in the state of Minnesota, regardless of membership.

The Emerald Society offers several membership options, and EVERYONE is welcome to join; including friends, family, and supporters of Irish and Police causes.
