The metal sign came in yesterday for one of the prize packages. Think it turned out pretty well.

Spring Conference completed! A lot of legislation updates and we appreciate all the support we get from KY State Lodge to protect all workers! If your retirement is saved, retiree benefits protected, and you get a 13th check consider joining a lodge to help with the continual fight to protect what you are working or have worked for! Pennies a day helps a lot more than you realize! It costs a lot of money to fight legislation!
The lodge fights for ALL members and when we win... non members win!!

LODGE 053 in Buckner KY is seeking new members! We are trying to reach a specific goal by July 1st. We are an open lodge so ANY LEO (State, City, County, Township), Correctional Officers (Local state or federal) and Probation and Parole can join. For less that 35 cents a day you can have access to some great benefits. Tuition assistance, discounts, legislative updates, and the best part being part of a family that are pretty damn cool! If that is not enough check out the FOP Legal Defense (Adminstrative/Civil/Criminal) and if you already have other coverage elsewhere get more!

Check out FOP.net for benefits.
Reach out to Lodge #053 at [email protected]
If your area has a lodge we will put you in contact with that lodge. If not, come join #053!

The FOP could not achieve its mission of serving our members without the generous support of our corporate partners. This month we thank and acknowledge our partnership with Dignity Memorial. Read More
