What Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 5-30 does

Fraternal Order of Police Jacksonville Lodge 5-30 is a nonprofit labor union and fraternal organization representing more than 3,000 active and retired law enforcement officers in Jacksonville, Florida. It was formed in 1968 by merging the city's Lodge 5 and the county's Lodge 30 following the consolidation of the City of Jacksonville and Duval County governments, and is the 7th largest lodge within the national Fraternal Order of Police (founded 1915, 325,000+ members nationally). The lodge functions as the recognized collective bargaining representative for officers of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office and Duval County law enforcement, delivering contract negotiation, legal defense, legislative advocacy, scholarships, and memorial programs including the Jacksonville Law Enforcement Memorial Wall and the Canine Hero's recognition program.

The lodge runs on the UnionActive website platform, which powers a password-protected member portal (legislative updates, contracts, salary tables, meeting minutes, constitution/bylaws, downloads), an online voting system, an e-commerce store for merchandise (shopjaxfop530.com), and RSS news syndication. Member communications are distributed via the portal, email, text alerts, and Facebook. Office operations are run from a single headquarters at 5530 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, with 11-50 staff and elected officer leadership (President, two Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, Conductor, Outer Guard, Chaplain, Board of Directors, Board of Trustees).

The business model is membership-dues-driven with diversified ancillary income. The primary stream is annual subscription membership dues across four classifications (Police Officer, Police Officer - Retired, Corrections Officer, Corrections Officer - Retired). Secondary streams include hall rental for private events, merchandise sales, and donations/corporate sponsorships directed at memorial projects and the FOP Foundation. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and dues are billed annually. The go-to-market is community-led: officers register through the website and are verified by lodge officials, with engagement reinforced through community events such as Armed Forces Week and partnerships with sponsors such as Firehouse Subs.
