Patrick Yoes Re-Elected National Secretary in landslide victory

By an astounding 68% of the votes that were cast in the election, which was one of the nastiest elections in recent history, Pat Yoes was re-elected National FOP Sectretary. The final tally was 1797 votes to his opponent's mere 846 votes.

One of the highlights of the election was that 67 members from across the country publically endorsed President Yoes for his reelection. Serving on the National Executive Board for the Fraternal Order of Police since 2003,Patrick started out on the National Executive Board as the National Sgt at Arms. He served the National FOP in that capacity until 2004 when he was elected National Secretary.

LAFAYETTE - Law enforcement in communities across south Louisiana have enlisted the help of a program that can blanket an area with automated alerts when a person is reported missing.

FOP DVDs are available

DVD's Available

If you are trying to recruit for your lodge or know someone who might be interested in joining. Just give us a call or send an email.

We also have FOP Legal Defense videos available. It is of vital importance that your members know what the FOP Legal Defense Plan is about. This coverage is to protecting an officer's family financial security, what body armor is to protecting his or her life. It would be terrible if an officer knew about it but chose not to take it. It would be a tragedy if it was available and no one gave him/her the information.

FOP representatives are available to come to your lodge meeting to talk about benefits, Legal Defense, and what is going on in the FOP. Let us know and we will have someone there.

Your FOP State Office is available and ready to assist you. Please call us at 318-767-0947 or877-527-8367 or email us at lafop@fop.net

The FOP Display is available.

If you have an event and would like to use the FOP Display, we be more than happy to bring it and set it up for you.
