State President’s Message
Welcome to the Washington State Fraternal Order of Police (WAFOP) and our official web site. The new website has been created in an effort to keep our members better informed and up to date on local, state and national information that affect law enforcement officers and their families. This website is the ONE VOICE for law enforcement officers in Washington State.
The WAFOP represents over 2,000 law enforcement officers in the state and directly associated by the National FOP with over 325,000 members. The Fraternal Order of Police is the largest professional law enforcement organization in the nation. Our legislative efforts in Washington D.C. and Olympia are largely successful because of the unprecedented national membership and the only professional law enforcement organization that represents all law enforcement, regardless of rank or agency. Our motto is “Cops helping Cops”.
On this web site you will find a host of benefits for members and their families. These are unparalleled and available because of our commitment to provide the very best for law enforcement officers and our members. We strive to have these benefits available for the choosing and with an ala-cart selection for the most part.
Our commitment to helping law enforcement officers in a time of need is very important to us. You will notice a number of programs that we actively participate in to see that we are ready when help is needed. Our support of the Washington State Law Enforcement Memorial, CISM and National Peace Officers’ Memorial Service in Washington D.C. are just a few of the programs we support.
Of course seeing to the welfare of those not as fortunate in our communities is at the core of public service and what we, as a profession, stand for. Simply said, we are very committed to programs that help the less fortunate especially kids, with Special Olympics being near and dear to our hearts.
On behalf of the members in Washington State, and the 325,000 of our closest brothers and sisters across the nation, we appreciate you visiting our web site and thank you for your support.
Fraternally,
Ken Roske
State President
