Welcome! Newark Fraternal Order of Police
The Newark Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #12 is an active union office that represents about 850 active police officers and over 700 retirees. We protect our officers’ rights in incidents where an officer has taken a legal action while on or off duty. We also negotiate for our members’ benefits, salaries and work schedules, along with just being an active lodge. We have great support from our community, especially those who become associate members, and with their support we donate to various organizations.
