A history of Officers of Avalon

On 15 December 1999 Corporal Tricia Mullensky of the University of Massachusetts (Dartmouth) Police Department created the Yahoo e-group Officers of Avalon as a "way for Pagan law enforcement and emergency personnel to talk, discuss, vent or ask questions to others of like mind." In its infancy Officers of Avalon was a small e-group where Pagans in the emergency services could chat.

That all changed on 12 May, 2002, when Tim Flanagan (Bogota (NJ) Police Reserves) posted the following on the Officers of Avalon e-group:

"The black officers have their organization, the Irish, the gays, etc. Why not us? They all started with just a few members. Don't you think it's about time we came out of the closet? ... We are good people, and I know that there are many, many of us across the Us who don't know who to turn to, ... This small group can be the start of something big for every Wiccan police officer in the US..."

The initial burst of enthusiasm expanded the membership. We set up our first web site. On 11 September, 2003, Officers of Avalon incorporated our organization in the state of Nevada. By the end of October 2003 we had secured our e-group in order to minimize the security risks from people posting hate mail and personating emergency services personnel.

Officers of Avalon isn't just an e-group anymore. It has become a benevolent association for Pagan professionals in the emergency services. We will offer Pagan cops, firefighters, emergency medical technicians and rescue personnel a safe place to vent, to share ideas and to disseminate information that affects us. We are a network like the IPA that can offer members contacts and refuge in cities
