The National Fraternal Order of Police was organized in 1915, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and represents Law Enforcement Officers in 40 states and 2 foreign countries. The Fraternal Order of Police is the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 324,000 members in more than 2,100 lodges.

The North Carolina State Lodge of Fraternal Order of Police was organized in 1954, in Asheville, NC, and has 51 Local Lodges that represent nearly 5,200 members. 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 is a full service member representation organization. Contact us or your local Lodge for detailed information

Founded in 1915, we are still "Building on a Proud Tradition."
