Fraternal Order of Police (FOP)

FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE (FOP) -  According to the FOP; the five-cornered star tends to remind us of the allegiance we owe to our Flag and is a symbol of the authority with which we are entrusted. It is an honor the people we serve bestow upon us.  Midway between the points and center of the star is a blue field representative of the thin blue line protecting those we serve.  The points are of gold, which indicates the position under which we are now serving.  The background is white, the unstained color representing the purity with which we should serve.  We shall not let anything corrupt be injected into our order.  Therefore, our colors are blue, gold and white.  The open eye is the eye of vigilance ever looking for danger and protecting all those under its care while they sleep or while awake.  The clasped hands denote friendship.  The hand of friendship is always extended to those in need of our comfort.  The circle surrounding the star midway indicates our never ending efforts to promote the welfare and advancement of this order.  Within the half circle over the centerpiece is our motto, "Jus, Fidus, Libertatum" which translated means "Law is a Safeguard of Freedom."

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is a fraternal organization consisting of sworn law enforcement officers in the United States.  The organization attempts to improve the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those they serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation.
