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. Bethlehem Star Lodge #20 is one of those 2,100 lodges whose purpose is to be the voice of those dedicated individuals that serve and have served the City of Bethlehem, PA. We are committed to improving the working conditions of those officers and the safety of the citizens of Bethlehem through education, information, community involvement and employee representation. Nobody knows the challenges, stressors and dangers faced by today's police officers better than another officer. It is the job of the FOP to be the voice for each of those officers.
