What it reported doing in 2023

The weber fraternal order of the police (fop) was founded to represent police officers in legislative bodies and to provide community service to the communities we serve as well as for the officers. The weber fop strives to achieve this through member and community outreach events and by providing legal services when required. During the year, the organization provided christmas gifts and school supplies to needy children, provided a halloween trunk or treat activity for the community, and supported a multi-cultural youth conference, established a memorial for an officer killed in the line of duty, and assisted officers with job-related legal expenses.
