Welcome to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg
Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #9 website.

The FOP is the nations largest and oldest organization dedicated to making the profession of law enforcement better for police officers, deputy sheriff’s, state and federal officers all over the country.  The FOP had its humble beginnings in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, founded by two Pittsburg Police officers tired working 7 days week, 365 days a year and with nothing they could do about it.  Those two officers along with 21 others formed the very first FOP Lodge, Fort Pitt Lodge #1 on May 15, 1915.  Today, the tradition that was first envisioned over 93 years ago lives on with more than 2,100 local lodges and more than 327,000 members in the United States.  The FOP is made up of proud professionals working on behalf of law enforcement officers from all ranks and levels of government. 

Locally, FOP Lodge #9 is made up of more than 1,600 law enforcement officers serving in virtually every police department in the county, along with the sheriff’s office and many state and federal agencies.  Our organization is driven by the membership and all members our encouraged to attend our monthly meetings to set the direction for our Lodge.  Over the past ten years the Local, State, and National FOP have become involved in political endorsements to better represent our membership. We work to elect public officials that have law enforcement officers in mind when making decisions and laws that affect our safety & livelihood.
