Membership in Warren Lodge #12 FOPA entitles you to the following benefits:

National fraternalism with our law enforcement family.

Professional membership cards, decals, and emblems which are recognized nationally.

Recognition of outstanding achievements through various awards programs.

The opportunity to attend and vote at State and National Conferences.

The Fraternal Order of Police Associates is not a "Cops and Robbers" organization, nor do associates perform the duties of a police officer. They do set examples of what a citizen should be in their community and are willing to assist in making law enforcement better in their city, state, and country.

The car bearing the emblem or decal of the FOPA member tells other citizens and police officers that you are a supporter of better law enforcement.

Many changes have taken place in law enforcement through the efforts of members of the Associate Lodges throughout the country. These changes have induced a better grade of men and women to join the police force. The police officer today is a skilled professional person in their field.

Members are pledged to foster public respect for the police officers, promote better understanding by the public of the rights, duties, and problems of the police officers, and they should strive in every way within their power to better the conditions under which the police officer serves the public.

There are also many benevolent projects conducted bylodges. Most meetings are spiced with interesting speakers, films, or discussions. Many times meetings are followed up by refreshments so that better fellowship can be obtained among the members.

Coordination. The FOPA has many programs to keep you involved. We are proud to support many deserving programs.

Communication. FOPA Members have accomplished a great deal. Members are kept up-to-date on pending legislation, receive the Ohio Police Magazine and Monthly Newsletter. Attend Local meetings.

Cooperation. Even if you can't be personally involved all of the time, just "being a member" is important to show our support of the Law and our Law Enforcement Professionals. We need you to back the men and women in blue!
