Last night, a few of our members attended the swear in of Upper Macungie Township Police Officer Andrew Wieder. Brother Wieder was a member of ours for two years before leaving a month ago to pursue his career with the Upper Macungie Township Police Department. The one we called Home Town Hero, did Police, Fire, EMS, college educated, and flies Helicopters for our armed forces. Couldn’t ask for a better candidate to do this profession. We wish you the best at Upper Macungie Brother and we miss you amongst our ranks.

PASSED - COLA Legislation - Ad hoc Post Retirement Adjustment

Thanks to over a decade of work by the Pennsylvania State Lodge Legislative Committee, the first municipal police pension COLA in 24 years has been approved. Effective August 1, 2026, retirees will receive $75/month ($900/year) after 5–10 years of retirement, $150/month ($1,800/year) after 10–20 years, and $300/month ($3,600/year) after 20+ years. While smaller than hoped, this long-overdue increase is an important step forward for our retired officers. Pension systems may take 90 days or longer to process the changes.

📰The Fraternal Order of Police State Lodge today thanked lawmakers in the House and Senate for passing legislation that provides a long-overdue cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for retired police officers and firefighters across the commonwealth.
