Any trained full-time, sworn law enforcement officer with arrest
power who is employed by a government entity may become a member
of the Fraternal Order of Police.
If you are a law enforcement officer and wish to join the
Fraternal Order of Police you should contact the Baystate FOP
lodge,. Lodge 30 draws its members over 40 agencies.
If your union or association would like to create your own
lodge; you will need to contact the State Lodge in your state or
the National Lodge.
A popular alternative to starting your own lodge is to enroll
all eligible agency members in the Baystate lodge. Members
receive all the benefits, while the group avoids the process and
requirments of starting and maintaining a lodge.
You may as an alternative, fill out the attached form and send
it to the Baystate Lodge We will then have someone contact you.
This process could take a couple of weeks.

The FOPA is a civilian affiliate of the

all walks of life—people willing to devote a portion of their
time and efforts toward assisting the various law enforcement
agencies of our communities, states and nation.
The FOPA's interests revolve around law enforcement and the men
and women that have dedicated their lives to the protection of
ours.
The FOPA actively supports legislation, charitable causes, and
all law enforcement efforts on a local, state and national

Benefits
PDF Document
The National FOP
offers group life insurance, legal defense,
lodge liability insurance, dental and vision
care, cancer care, prescription drug
discounts, disability income protection, and
retirement programs.
Accidental Death Insurance
One of the main
benefits when you become a member of the
Massachusetts FOP is the death benefits that
you receive. The killed in the line of duty
death benefits could be as mush as $30,000.
These benefits also cover off duty incidents
and retired members are also covered. Please
take a look at the attached insurance
information. This insurance is paid for by
the State Lodge from our fund raising. We
also grant a large amount of scholarships to
member's children & grandchildren and that
program is expanding this year also.
Legal Defense Fund
The National FOP
also runs its own Legal Defense Fund. To
become a member of the FOP Legal Defense
Fund you must be an FOP member and a working
law enforcement officer. The cost of the
Legal Defense Fund is only $215.00 a year
($18 per Month). One of the great parts of
the FOP plan is you don't have to use just
certain attorneys. You can choose your own
attorney or you can pick from the list of
attorneys that are on the plan. If you want
a certain attorney, but he isn't on the plan
a small amount of paperwork filled out by
your attorney and submitted will put him on
board. Those attorneys on the Legal Defense
Plan will be paid $125.00 per hour. We have
found entire departments have dropped from
other legal defense funds and joined the
FOP's plan and got their attorney that they
are comfortable with to join the plan.
Please take a look at the attached paperwork
about the FOP Legal defense Plan or learn
about the plan on-line at
