Welcome
to the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #1 located in Wilmington,
Delaware.
The
FOP was first introduced in Delaware on September 20, 1965
with the formation of Wilmington Lodge #1. The Delaware State
Lodge was established somewhat later, in 1967. Lodge #1 represents
over 600 sworn and retired law enforcement officers in the
first state.
Our
lodge proudly represents officers from the Wilmington Police
Department, Elsmere Bureau of Police, New Castle City Police
Department and the Newport Police Department.

The Fraternal
Order of Police is the world's largest organization of sworn
law enforcement officers, with more than 324,000 members in
more than 2,100 lodges. We are the voice of those who dedicate
their lives to protecting and serving our communities. We
are committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement
officers and the safety of those we serve through education,
legislation, information, community involvement, and employee
representation. No one knows the dangers and the difficulties
faced by today's police officers better than another officer,
and no one knows police officers better than the FOP.
