There’s something special about this profession. 🇺🇸💙

National FOP Vice President John Hoyt reflects on a career filled with adventure, lifelong friendships, service, and the incredible bond shared by those who wear the badge.

National Police Week is also a reminder of what that brotherhood means—coming together to honor those we’ve lost, support their families, and reconnect with the people who have shared this journey.

For those who have served, it truly is a job unlike any other.

Watch John’s reflection:

Do you know the difference between the Minnesota FOP Legal Defense Plan and the National FOP Legal Defense Plan?

Minnesota FOP General Counsel Joe Tamburino breaks down how the two plans work together to provide law enforcement officers with broad legal protection—both on and off duty.

The National FOP plan provides critical on-duty protection, while the Minnesota FOP plan extends coverage into areas such as administrative and disciplinary matters, off-duty criminal matters, POST Board issues, Brady/Giglio matters, restraining orders, and more.

Your career is too important to find out after something happens that your legal defense plan doesn’t cover it.

Rapid Relief Team keeps showing up for first responders.

Not with slogans. With meals, water, coffee, and hours on scene when the work is long and nobody is watching.

Police Week in Washington. Firegrounds. Floods. Night Out events. Memorial services. The quiet deployments where a hot meal is the first kindness a crew has had all day.

Behind every badge is a family and a sacrifice. RRT acts like they know that.

Thank you, Rapid Relief Team, for taking care of the people who take care of everyone else.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Blaine Police Officer who was injured while responding to a call, along with his family, fellow officers, and the entire Blaine Police Department. 💙🙏

Incidents like this are a sobering reminder of the inherent dangers law enforcement officers face every day. What may begin as a routine call can change in an instant.

Across Minnesota, officers put themselves in harm’s way every day to protect the communities they serve. Tonight, we ask everyone to keep this officer and the Blaine Police Department in your thoughts and prayers as he recovers.

Stay strong. Stay safe. Watch out for one another.

The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with our brothers and sisters in Blaine. 🇺🇸💙

Officer Richard P. Miller Sr. served his country and his community. His sacrifice must never be forgotten.

On August 25, 1981, the 59-year-old Minneapolis Police Officer and World War II Navy veteran was shot and killed while investigating a stolen vehicle. Isaac Stephen Brown was convicted of first-degree murder for intentionally killing Officer Miller while Miller was performing his duties.

Brown, OID #111766, is scheduled for another Supervised Release Board review on December 11, 2026. The public can submit written comments to the Minnesota Department of Corrections in advance of a review.

Those who wish to oppose Brown’s release can make their voices heard by sending an email to: [email protected]

Subject: Oppose Parole: Isaac Stephen Brown, OID #111766, December 11, 2026
