The Fraternal Order of Police is the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 325,000 members in more than 2,100 lodges. We are the voice of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities. We are committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those we serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation. No one knows the dangers and the difficulties faced by today's police officers better than another officer, and no one knows police officers better than the FOP.

Hello from the Mass FOP Executive Board,
On Monday, April 15th, at approximately 2:50 PM, a tragic and horrible event unfolded at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Two bombs exploded at an event which has long been a spot of great pride and worldwide sportsmanship as Boston fell victim to what can only be called a cowardly attack on innocents. Through this deliberate attack, many great stories of extraordinary human spirit have emerged. First responders flocked into the area even as others were running out and their quick actions are being credited with saving many, many lives. Countless runners have already said they fully plan on coming back next year to show support for the City of Boston and to show our resolve and that we won’t be intimidated by such cowardly acts!
Furthermore, police agencies and teams from across the Commonwealth and across the country have come together. They are working feverishly at restoring a sense of security with the citizens of Boston and finding those responsible for this attack. Watching the situation unfold, we were very proud of the professional and speedy way the Boston Police, Boston Fire and other medical professionals instantly jumped into action. Everything seemed to run as smooth as possible given the situation.
The Massachusetts FOP has, and continues to, reach out to our brothers in Boston to offer whatever assistance they may need. We also have been receiving numerous phone calls and emails from other State and National representatives offering assistance. We wish to thank them all for their offers for help and continued support. As of right now, the police agencies in Boston have everything under control and will be continuing to assess their needs. We will continue to stay on top of this situation and offer whatever assistance we can.
While we are proud of the men and women who responded to assist all those injured in the aftermath of this event, our hearts are heavy and our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their families. We thank everyone for their continued support during these difficult times.
