CORE VALUES

The goal of the Fraternal Order of Police is to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and the State of Florida.  To inculcate loyalty and allegiance to the United States of America; to promote and foster the impartial enforcement of law and order, and to improve the individual proficiency of our members in the performance of their duties.  To encourage social, charitable, educational activities among all law enforcement officers.  To advocate and strive for uniform application of the Civil Service and merit system for all law enforcement officers.   To create a tradition of esprit de corps insuring fidelity to duty under all conditions and circumstances.  To cultivate a spirit of fraternalism and mutual helpfulness among our membership and the people we serve and to increase the efficiency of the police profession and thus more firmly establish the confidence of the public in the service that is dedicated to the protection of life and property.

We have proudly served Manatee County. We are committed to not only the safety of our citizens and business but to providing charitable contributions to those in our community who need our help the most. Currently we are involved with the Easter Seals of Florida, Flight to the North Pole (Terminally Ill Children) and Police Athletic League charitable organizations.
