The Fraternal Order of Police

The Fraternal Order of Police (F.O.P.) is the nation's largest law enforcement organization, with over 325,000 members and 2,100 lodges throughout the United States. Founded in 1915, the F.O.P. represents professional law enforcement officers from municipal, county, state and federal agencies. Membership in the Fraternal Order of Police is open to all full time active and retired law enforcement officers, regardless of rank.

The F.O.P. is made up of law enforcement officers striving to improve their profession by improving working conditions, wages and benefits and by monitoring legislation affecting law enforcement on the local, state and national levels.

The Nevada State Lodge has its own Executive Board and Board of Trustees with its own Constitution and By-Laws. The Nevada State Lodge provides programs and assistance as needed for the local lodges within Nevada. Although the State Lodge does not represent Nevada police officers in collective bargaining process, we can provide the assistance (within the scope of our funding) to obtain education and training to assist local lodges. In addition to supporting the local lodges, the Nevada State Lodge provides state input to the Western States Association, a. coalition of state lodges making regional alliances stronger at the national level.

Local Lodges are fraternal organizations made up of law enforcement officers from a given community or political sub-division. The local lodge is an independent body governing the conduct of its own affairs. Local lodge officers are elected by its membership and its Constitution and By-Laws are drafted and approved in conformity with State and National By-Laws. The activities of the local lodge in its community are dictated in most cases by the needs of that community. Each local lodge is a member of the State Lodge and is represented at state board meetings and conferences by trustees and delegates elected from the local membership.
