FOP DC Lodge #1 is working alongside the National FOP to provide our members with the FOP Legal Defense Plan, which is owned and operated by the National FOP. There are two plans that have been designed to protect our members according to the membership type to which the member has been designated. Active Members may apply for the 'ABC' coverage that would protect them from any criminal, administrative, and civil matters arising from their performance of duties. Associate Members may apply for the 'BC' coverage that would protect them from any criminal and civil matters arising from their performance of duties, administrative is not included. Although the individual costs for these plans are usually $310 and $68 respectively, the Lodge is able to offer it at a discounted Group Rate. Below is a breakdown of the pricing options according to the plan for which the member would qualify.
Group Rate $300*
ABC Plan for Active Members (Full Coverage)
- Administrative
- Criminal
- Civil
* Without the group rate the cost is $310 per year for the same coverage.
Group Rate $64*
BC Plan for Associate Members
- Criminal
- Civil
* Without the group rate the cost is $68 per year for the same coverage.
This in no way replaces whatever bargaining agreement you have. This is an additional means of protection for all of our Lodge members. If you opt to sign yourself up as an individual (instead coming to the Lodge and signing up for the Group Rate) you may need the following information to complete the application under 'Individual Enrollment'. (If you need to be reminded of your member number, please contact the Lodge.)
