WELCOME TO FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE SOUTH JERSEY LODGE #56
What Is the Fraternal Order of Police Associates (FOPA)?
The FOPA is a civilian affiliate of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP). Our members are friends and families of law
enforcement Officers, responsible and respected business persons, professional men and women, and citizens from 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.

Goals of the FOPA
The FOPA is an organization formed for the purpose of increasing our understanding of the rights, duties and problems of
law enforcement officers; of fostering respect for them; and of bettering conditions under which they serve society. We
accomplish this through public relations, as well as legislative and educational efforts. It is our aim and objective to
support law enforcement throughout our country in every way possible. We believe that Law is the safeguard to freedom,
and it is our duty to defend it.


Nationally, we are a proud corporate sponsor of Easter Seals, actively involved in legislation, and supportive of all Law
Enforcement programs.

Functions and Activities of the Associate Lodges of the FOPA
Associate Lodges work to assist their parent Lodge. They provide law enforcement agencies with dedicated public
support.

Many Associate Lodges present scholarships to dependents of law enforcement officers and Associate members.

Associate Lodges donate funds to officers in need or distress, provide funds for various law enforcement needs and
youth programs, and present awards to recognize outstanding and dedicated law enforcement officers and Associate
members.

Associate Lodges hold joint social functions enjoyed by members, family, and friends.
