Advocating for Law Enforcement & Communities
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is the world’s largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with over 373,000 members in 2,200+ lodges. We advocate for the rights and safety of our officers and communities through education, legislation, community involvement, and member representation.
Our strength lies in our numbers, with local lodges holding control and members governing the organization. Unlike others, the FOP is truly member-driven, ensuring that those who understand the challenges of policing shape our initiatives.
