Greetings and Welcome
This is the official web site of the Delaware County Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge 27. Delaware County is located on the western border of the City of Philadelphia in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We are a multi-agency lodge with over 1,000 members representing 41 law enforcement agencies. Our general membership meetings are held on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Dinner starts at 6:30 P.M. and the meeting follows at 8:00 P.M. Meetings are for MEMBERS ONLY.
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.
This site was designed to improve the communications between members and to enhance their access to law enforcement information on the internet. Members will find information for upcoming meetings, socials, and fund raising events. It also provides a means for the community to learn about our lodge and our mission. As law enforcement officers, we cannot succeed without the support of the public that we proudly serve. We welcome the entire community to support our efforts.
