Team NJFOP Strong 2026 I am honored to humbly announce my candidacy for President of the New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police. I look forward to earning your vote!

For years, the New Jersey FOP has been a beacon of strength, advocacy and brotherhood for law enforcement officers across our state. With a tip of my cap to our past and soon to be past Presidents, we've built a strong foundation on the principles of representation, legislation, education, and wellness. This foundation isn't just a metaphor, it's the tireless work of every single member who has de

dicated themselves to our shared mission. As your next President, I and my team commit to building upon this remarkable legacy. We'll continue to fight for fair wages and fair pensions, comprehensive and affordable benefits, and the resources you need to do your jobs safely and effectively. We'll strengthen our legislative advocacy, ensuring that the voices of New Jersey's finest are heard loud and clear in Trenton and beyond. Above all, I believe deeply that the New Jersey FOP is, and always will be, a member-driven organization. Your concerns, your idea and your well-being will be at the forefront of every decision made. I am here to listen, to collaborate, and to lead with the collective wisdom of our membership guiding our path forward. Together, we can ensure the New Jersey FOP remains a powerful force for good, protecting those who protect our communities. Thank you for your trust, your support, and your dedication. Fraternally,
James E. Ford
NJFOP Secretary

THANK YOU, NJFOP.

Today, Team NJFOP Strong was humbled and honored to earn your trust as our entire team was elected to serve the New Jersey State Fraternal Order of Police.

Tonight, our overwhelming emotion is simply gratitude.

To every delegate who cast a vote and placed your confidence in our team—thank you. We understand that your vote was more than support for a slate of candidates. It was a tremendous responsibility entrusted to us, and it is one we will never take for granted.

To our families, friends, lodge leaders, members, and supporters who stood beside us throughout this journey—thank you for every phone call, every conversation, every mile traveled, every word of encouragement, and every sacrifice that made today possible.

And to the leaders who came before us, we recognize that we are not starting from the beginning. Generations of dedicated FOP leaders and members built the strong foundation upon which we now have the privilege and responsibility to build. We honor their service, their sacrifices, and the legacy they leave to us.

Throughout this campaign, we said repeatedly that the New Jersey FOP belongs to its members.

Today doesn’t change that.

In fact, today makes that responsibility even greater.

The campaign is now over. The election is decided. Tomorrow there are no teams, no sides, and no opponents—only Brothers and Sisters of one Fraternal Order of Police.

Whether you supported us or supported someone else, we work for you.

We will listen to you.

We will represent you.

We will be accountable to you.

And we will work every day to earn the trust that was placed in us today.

We ran together.

We won together.

And now, most importantly, we will serve together.

There is much work ahead, and we are ready to roll up our sleeves and get started.

Our promise remains the same:

Members First.
Leading From the Front.
One Voice. One Brotherhood. One Future.

From every member of Team NJFOP Strong, thank you for believing in us.

Now it’s time to get to work.

Today, the members choose the future of the New Jersey Fraternal Order of Police.

Throughout this campaign, our message has remained consistent: leadership is not about personalities, titles, or division. It is about service, integrity, transparency, fiscal responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to the members we are privileged to represent.

No matter what happens today, I believe our organization can emerge stronger. Stronger because important conversations have been had. Stronger because members have engaged. Stronger because the future of the NJFOP belongs to all of us.

I want to sincerely thank everyone who has supported Team NJFOP Strong, welcomed us into your lodges, challenged us with thoughtful questions, and shared your ideas for the future. Those conversations have reinforced exactly why this organization is worth fighting for.

Today we cast our votes. Tomorrow, we continue the work of strengthening our Brotherhood.

One Voice. One Brotherhood. One Future.

Tomorrow is more than Election Day. It is an opportunity to choose the future of our organization.

Throughout this campaign, I have spoken about leadership rooted in transparency, honesty, fiscal responsibility, and unwavering commitment to our members. Those principles should never be campaign slogans—they should be the standard by which our organization is led every day.

Regardless of tomorrow’s outcome, I remain committed to one goal: leaving the New Jersey FOP stronger than I found it. Stronger through unity. Stronger through accountability. Stronger through service. And stronger through leadership that puts the membership first.

I am grateful for every conversation, every handshake, every question, and every member who took the time to listen. Thank you for your trust, your encouragement, and your commitment to the future of our Fraternal Order of Police.

Tomorrow, we choose the future.

Ready to serve. Ready to lead. Ready to work.

Every election presents a choice—not simply between candidates, but between directions.

The future of the New Jersey FOP won’t be built by looking backward or dwelling on division. It will be built by choosing integrity over rhetoric, service over self-interest, and progress over complacency.

Leadership is about listening, being transparent, making fiscally responsible decisions, and ensuring every member knows their voice matters. It’s about protecting our members, strengthening our lodges, and leaving our organization better than we found it.

No matter the outcome, my commitment remains the same: to continue working toward a stronger, more united New Jersey FOP. The members deserve nothing less.

This election isn’t about a candidate. It’s about a direction. Let’s choose one that builds a stronger future—together.
