What We Do
The Lodge was formed for the mutual welfare of law enforcement and correctional officers and the promotion of fraternal, charitable and social relations among its members, as well as the promotion of confidence, cooperation and harmony between this lodge and the general public and all public officials.

Who We Are
Established on October 20th, 1966, the Lodge was named in memory of Sergeant James S. Fogleman, of the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, who lost his life in the line of duty on March 25th, 1963. Our volunteer Executive Staff has over 300 years of law enforcement and corrections experience combined.

Who We Represent
FOP Lodge #50 represents the dedicated men and women of the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office, both active and retired. 24/7 Legal Aid is provided by the Florida State FOP Labor Council to actively employed members or to those members who are retired but maintain Reserve Deputy or Officer status.
