There are many reasons you should become a member of the Fraternal Order of Police:

• We are the oldest and largest Professional Police Organization in the nation.
• Our primary membership is made of active and retired law enforcement officers
• We are an organization run BY cops FOR cops!
• Local community programs are sponsored by area lodges and officers. We care about our communities!
• Local officers can customize their lodge to cater to their specific needs. One example would be rural requirements vs. urban requirements. FOP provides the foundation on which you build the kinds of features you specifically need and want.
• Some other police organizations are affiliated with labor unions which do NOT have the concerns of law enforcement officers as its primary concern.  The FOP is an independent organization whose primary mission is for the betterment of working conditions for law enforcement officers.
