 The Fraternal Order of Police was founded in 1915 in the
city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The FOP represents more than 325,000 members in over 2,100 lodges throughout the United States. The members are full-time
law enforcement officers from local, county, state, and federal agencies. Throughout the years, the FOP has built a proud tradition of leadership in national
law enforcement affairs. Evergreen Lodge #1 was the first lodge established on November 16, 1981 in the state of Washington. The tradition of
Evergreen Lodge #1 continues today, in its dedication to serving the public.
The FOP exists to strive
for betterment of the law enforcement profession for the individual officer and the collective membership. By improving
working conditions, wages, benefits, and by monitoring and proposing effective legislation, the FOP provides a service
and benefit to the law enforcement profession and the public to which it serves. FOP members across our nation believe in
our national motto "Jus Fidus Libertatum" (Law is the Safeguard of
Freedom).
The FOP Evergreen Lodge #1
Auxiliary
was organized to unite families of members of the local Fraternal Order of Police lodge, to promote their welfare socially,
morally and intellectually, to encourage and support them in all aspects of their careers and Lodge business.
