Fraternal Order of Police

In 1915 the life of a police officer was bleak. In most communities they were forced to work 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. While they didn't like this, there was little they could do about it. At that time there were no organizations to make their voices heard, and no means to have their grievances known. In May of 1915 twenty some brave police officers from Pittsburgh, PA met and began the Fraternal Order of Police. So it began a proud tradition of police officers representing police officers. Today the tradition lives on with over 300,000 members worldwide.

The New Haven County Lodge continues this tradition, don't be confused, we're NOT a labor union. We're a fraternal organization that supports the many unions our members belong to.

If you're interested in joining the Order please send us an email.

The membership dues are $40.00 a year for active and retired law enforcement personnel, and $60.00 for associate membership. Associate membership is available to those who wish to support the Order.
