Florida State Fraternal Order of Police

What Florida State Fraternal Order of Police does

The Florida State Fraternal Order of Police (Florida State Lodge FOP) is a private, nonprofit fraternal organization and labor advocacy group founded in 1953 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. It represents over 24,000 sworn law enforcement officers across the state — including police officers, deputies, agents, and troopers — making it the third-largest state lodge within the national Fraternal Order of Police, which collectively has more than 373,000 members in over 2,100 lodges worldwide. The organization is governed by an Executive Board and Labor Council and operates independently from the national body, with no disclosed parent company or external investors.

The organization's core product is a comprehensive membership benefits program that bundles legal defense (criminal and civil), labor defense, salary and benefits negotiation support, political lobbying at the local-to-national level, disaster relief assistance, and member discounts on professional services. Additional program areas include the Memorial Foundation — honoring fallen officers through the Roll Call of Heroes, memorial services, and scholarships — as well as training events, conferences, and online educational resources covering crime prevention and internet safety. The technology footprint is limited: the organization operates a public website, a Facebook page (138 posts), email communications, and an online registration portal hosted via a third-party consultant; there is no proprietary software, mobile application, or API.

Revenue is generated predominantly through recurring membership dues paid by individual law enforcement officers, supplemented by donations accepted via PayPal and business sponsorships (e.g., Bichles Longo, CCM). Specific dues amounts, fee schedules, and total revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. Distribution is community-led: prospective members are recruited through local lodge chapters, the organization's website, online registration, and direct contact, with members receiving services at the local chapter level and through statewide advocacy infrastructure. The company has 11-50 employees at its Tallahassee headquarters.
