The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Auxiliary is comprised of family members
of our FOP members, including spouses, parents, siblings, aunts, uncles,
grandparents, in-laws and children over age of 18. The Auxiliary
is the only national support organization of its kind.
The Auxiliary began in 1920 when Kathryn M. Milton led an effort to establish
the first FOP Ladies Auxiliary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In 1941,
Ms. Milton became the president of the first National FOP Ladies
Auxiliary. With the inclusion of men, the Auxiliary dropped,
"Ladies" from its name, and has grown to over 140 subordinate Auxiliaries
representing 25 states.
The Auxiliary’s moto “never let them walk alone” epitomizes their mission
to enhance the FOP in its support for our members who risk their lives
to serve and protect. The Auxiliary also provides needed support to
spouses and children of our members.
