welcome
Welcome to Northeastern Lodge #63 of the Fraternal Order of Police. The FOP is the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 325,000 members in more than 2,200 lodges. We are the voice of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities. We are committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those we serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation. No one knows the dangers and the difficulties faced by today’s police officers better than another officer, and no one knows police officers better than the FOP
who we are
Northeastern Lodge # 63 is comprised of numerous law enforcement agencies from the five-county region of Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our diverse membership is comprised of dedicated law enforcement officers from Lackawanna, Pike, Wayne, Wyoming, and Susquehanna counties, along with agents of the Pennsylvania State Probation & Parole Board.
our goals
Maintaining a professional organization with membership open to all law enforcement officers not withstanding rank, title or position
Endorsing and supporting ideas, issues, and projects which benefit the entire law enforcement profession, not just the select few
Providing benefits and services which will assist our members in thier daily efforts to keep the peace, uphold the Constitution, and maintain a free society
we ascribe to
Support and defend the Constitutions of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are not a traditional labor union, we are an organization of cops, from the top down. We are not beholden to any political party or outside organization. We often stand alone, on behalf of issues that are critical to the profession, because the position is the right thing to do.
