Joe Brady began his law enforcement officer is 1994 in a small metropolitan department outside of Chicago, IL.  He served as a Darien Police officer for 6 years before joining the ranks of the Chicago Police Department in 2000 where he worked on violent crime reduction strategies and accountability concerns for day to day operations of the CPD.  Joe also served as Pipe Sergeant with the Chicago Police Pipe Band and the Bagpipes and Drums of the Emerald Society, Chicago Police and has played the bagpipes from Carnegie Hall to the Palace of Monaco.  In 2005 Joe's spouse was offered employment in North Carolina and he followed her career and was lucky enough to be hired by another CPD - Clayton Police Department.  He was instrumental in chartering lodge 88 in Johnston County where there was a lack of Fraternal Order of Police representation which he was accustomed to in Chicago.   Joe also formed a bagpipe band as a tribute to fallen public safety officers and is musical director for the Wake & District Public Safety Pipes & Drums .  brady@ncfop88.org
