🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day from the Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police! 🇺🇸
Today we proudly honor the Stars and Stripes—the enduring symbol of our nation's freedom, unity, and resilience. As law enforcement officers, we are reminded daily of the sacrifices made by generations of Americans who have defended the ideals our flag represents.
On this Flag Day, we encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect on the values that unite us and the responsibilities we share as citizens.
May Old Glory continue to fly high over a nation built on liberty, service, and sacrifice.
Fraternally,
Indiana State Fraternal Order of Police 🇺🇸

As our 2026 Indiana State FOP Summer Conference comes to a close, we proudly recognize the swearing-in of our newly elected Executive Board, administered by Joe Hamer.

This ceremony marks not only the beginning of a new term of leadership, but a renewed commitment to the principles that unite us as brothers and sisters of the Fraternal Order of Police. Our Executive Board members have accepted the responsibility of serving our membership, protecting our profession, and advancing the mission of the Indiana FOP.

We thank those who have answered the call to lead and congratulate each member of the Executive Board as they begin this new chapter of service.

May we continue to move forward together in unity, fraternity, and purpose—always remembering that the strength of our Order lies in the dedication of its members and the bonds we share.

**Congratulations to our Executive Board, and thank you to all who made this year's conference a success. Safe travels home, and may God bless our law enforcement family.**

One of the greatest strengths of our Fraternity is the foundation built by those who came before us.

During our Annual Indiana State FOP Conference, we were honored to gather our members with 50+ years of FOP membership for a photo. Their decades of service, leadership, sacrifice, and commitment to this organization have helped shape the Fraternal Order of Police we know today.

We are humbled by their dedication, grateful for their example, and proud to stand beside them as Brothers and Sisters of the FOP.

Thank you for your unwavering commitment to our profession and our Fraternity.
