Answer
A: The benefits are immeasurable. Lodge 15 provides its
members with experienced, in-house legal representation, available
to members 24 hours a day, through our legal aid program;
scholarship opportunities for members’ children; simple will
services; legislative representation; as well as fundraising and
networking opportunities. Additionally, the Missouri State FOP
provides insurance benefits for ‘line of duty’ deaths as well as
‘accidental’ deaths. The FOP also supports fallen officers’
families by granting scholarships to spouses of fallen officers to
assist them in rebuilding their lives following the loss of their
beloved. Your local association, where applicable, may offer
benefits in addition to these. For more information, please see the
“Benefits of Membership” on the Membership page, or contact
Administrative Assistant Karla Miller at the Lodge.
