Henry Repeating Arms proudly announces that Founder and CEO Anthony Imperato has been named Law Enforcement Supporter of the Year by New York State Fraternal Order of Police Memorial Lodge 100. The honor was presented at the Lodge's 22nd Annual Awards Dinner held on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, in Howard Beach, New York.

The award recognizes Imperato's decades-long commitment to supporting the men and women of law enforcement, their families, departments, and the charitable organizations behind them through both personal efforts and the philanthropic initiatives of Henry Repeating Arms.

"I stand here to reaffirm something I have believed in my entire life – my support for law enforcement is unwavering, unconditional, and grounded in deep respect," said Imperato on stage while receiving his award. "In a time when law enforcement is too often second-guessed, criticized, taken for granted, and looked down upon, I want you to be absolutely clear – I stand with you, I support you, and I will continue to use my voice, my platform, and my resources to advocate for a return to respecting our men and women in uniform."

Born and raised in Brooklyn, Imperato began his career working in his family's police equipment business before founding Henry Repeating Arms in 1996. Today, the company is one of America's leading firearms manufacturers, employing over 700 people and operating more than 400,000 square feet of manufacturing space in Wisconsin.

Through its "Guns For Great Causes" program, Henry Repeating Arms has supported numerous law enforcement organizations nationwide, including the National Fraternal Order of Police, National Association of Police Organizations, National Fallen Officers Foundation, and many others. The program has also provided significant contributions to families of fallen officers and first responders, as well as pediatric healthcare initiatives.

In recognition of the occasion, Henry Repeating Arms donated two engraved .22 caliber rifles to be auctioned during the event, with proceeds benefiting the Lodge's ongoing initiatives. Additionally, the company has committed to producing two one-of-one commemorative rifles for Memorial Lodge 100 to utilize in future fundraising efforts.

The NYS FOP Memorial Lodge 100 Awards Dinner serves as an annual gathering to honor individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service and dedication to the law enforcement community.
