FOP LODGE #49

The Fraternal Order of Police is the world’s largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 330,000 members in more than 2,200 lodges. We are the voice of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities. We are committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those we serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation. No one knows the dangers and the difficulties faced by today’s police officers better than another officer, and no one knows police officers better than the FOP.

The Fraternal Order of Police Associates is made up of business and professional people from all walks of life. It is a non-sectarian, non-political organization and was founded upon ennobling doctrines of American Democracy in Dayton, Ohio in 1942. The Fraternal Order of Police Associates is not a “Cops and Robbers” organization, nor do associates perform the duties of a police officer. They do set examples of what a citizen should be in their community and are willing to assist in making law enforcement better in their city, state, and country.
