As a member of the FOP, you become a member of every lodge, every meeting, etc. You will be given a membership card that will allow you access to any FOP Lodge in the country. It is always enjoyable to travel to places like Washington, D.C. to see the National Law Enforcement Memorial and then sit with some fellow officers at D.C. Lodge #1 and share memories.
The National FOP Lodge also works to create special services for FOP members like the Nationwide Advantage Mortgage for FOP Members and the FOP Bank of America Credit Card. These services are available to FOP Members only.
With the FOP, you do not pay members and get a card with a phone number to call if you need help. Our members are your local partners, friends and co-workers. Local Lodges meet monthly in their area and talk about your issues. You see a return on your money, not just a draft to someone you have never met.
As a member, you will have the opportunity to meet other brothers and sisters of the FOP from around the State and nation. One thing we can promise, you will get more in return than you ever put in…
The National, State and Local lodges of the FOP are dedicated to being a recognized community partner for charity and helping create a better relationship with the public.
It is too often that we are taken for what our jobs are and not seen for our dedication to our communities. Just think about the law enforcement television shows that are dedicated to showing law enforcement as bias or corrupt organizations.
The Local lodges of the FOP strive to work with other organizations to promote a positive image of law enforcement.
As a benefit to the FOP Membership, the FOP, through its Legal Aid Plan, offers to assist in the legal defense of members in good standing with the State Lodge and their local lodge when such members face litigation or prosecution for acts within the scope of a member’s employment as a law enforcement officer.
There are two Legal Aid Plans for Active Members: The National FOP Legal Defense Plan and the NCFOP State Lodge Legal Aid Plan.
The NCFOP fights for better retirement, better training and more safeguards for law enforcement. We do this by having constant representation in Raleigh at the State Legislative Offices lobbying on our behalf. Our legislative agent communicates with your local senator or representative to either support or not support bills and laws on behalf of the FOP.
Locally, your lodge may want to express concerns of local officers with city council members or county commissioners to assure your salary and benefits are taken into consideration when large decisions take place. NO, we are not a Union, but we can act as a group and voice concerns about our jobs.
In addition, our National Lodge of the FOP works with all branches of the federal government on behalf of its members. The FOP has gained the title as “The Voice of the Nation’s Law Enforcement” for its work.

“Education is an investment in knowledge that pays the best interest. One of the most powerful things in life, it allows us to find the meaning behind everything and helps improve lives in a massive way. Education gives us an understanding of the world around us and offers us an opportunity to use that knowledge wisely, irrespective of race, creed and gender. Be it as leaders in their lodge or in their agency, FOPU empowers our members with the tools needed to light a path forward.” — National President Patrick YoesThe National Fraternal Order of Police University (NFOPU) is a consortium of colleges and universities that provides members of the National FOP with varied learning programs. These programs include both traditional and nontraditional forums. The formation of NFOPU allows FOP members the ability to take courses that will accommodate the unique requirements of a working law enforcement officer’s schedule. These courses can be taken completely online, which will make it easier for our members to obtain their degrees on their own time. All of the colleges and universities that are participating are regionally accredited institutions.There is no cost to the NFOP, and our members could receive benefits in the form of actual tuition cost reduction or extensive credit for past degree work, POST training and FBI Academy training. Not every school in the program will offer actual decreases in tuition, but students of those schools may well matriculate more quickly through the program because of credits received—resulting in completion of their degree in a timely and less costly manner.None of the universities or colleges require a campus visit or have a residency requirement, nor do they require the GRE/GMAT tests.
