Each lodge is a member of the State Lodge and is represented at the state board meetings and conferences by state trustees and delegates elected by the local lodge.

The National FOP Journal is a professional law enforcement publication provided to each member. The journal supplies a wide range of articles, reports, legislation, and news to its members.

Your local lodge participates in the National Legal Defense Plan.
