The Florida State Lodge works with a small group of companies that have supported Florida law enforcement for years. Approved sponsors receive year-round visibility, direct access to members, and State Lodge Approved Vendor status.
Florida FOP represents more than 24,000 members across the state. Sponsors reach those members in the places they already pay attention: at state conferences, in the member newsletter, in benefit emails, and on the Florida FOP website. This is not a logo on a banner. Sponsors get vendor space, training time, member emails, and a direct link from the site.
In Person
Vendor space and a one-hour training or seminar slot at three Florida FOP conferences every year.
In Their Inbox
Newsletter advertising plus a quarterly benefits email written around your product or service.
On the Website
A listing under the Resources tab with a direct link to your site, plus periodic social media posts.
WHO CAN APPLY
This program is built for companies with a track record. A company must have sponsored Florida FOP for at least two years before applying. Applicants also provide two or three client or referral contacts. The Benefits, Ways and Means Committee reaches out to those contacts directly to ask about their experience working with the company. Newer companies should contact the State Lodge office to learn about getting started.
