We receive  thousands of visits to our web site each year.  We welcome all members of the public to browse our site.  It is designed to give insight about the job we do.   You may notice we refer to each other as  brothers and sisters.  For police officers everywhere we truly are family in an occupation, which is unique to say the least.  There is a closeness and unity in our profession that is difficult to describe.  We are the thin blue line and stand tall separating society from anarchy and chaos.   We enforce the rules and laws of the land.   We are frequently criticized by the media, or treated with indifference or contempt.  We are rarely thanked for the job we do.  We accept that and serve proudly knowing we do make a difference.  A City will never find  a more loyal or dedicated group of employees than those who will lay down their lives for its' citizens.  Unfortunately the City rarely looks at it in that light.

When danger lurks we are there.   If someone reports a man with a gun we rush to confront him while all others rush away.   We see the day-to-day sadness and misery on the streets and try to sort it out.  We frequently see man's inhumanity to man.   We are cursed, punched, kicked, threatened and spit on or worse during the course of our careers.   Rarely does one go an entire career without injury in the line of duty.  On an average across the nation one of our brother or sister officers dies in the line of duty every other day serving those they are sworn to protect.  We must make split second decisions, which could mean life or death.  There is little margin for error.  We serve our citizens 24 hours a day 365 days a year.  We place the lives of the citizens we serve above our own.  We love our jobs and proudly serve those we are sworn to protect.   Our goal at the start of every shift is to go home to our loved ones when the day is done.  When one of our brother or sisters calls for help we all respond.   I still remember the words of my instructor at the Academy,  "Welcome to the greatest show on earth!!"  Well it has been all that and more.  We are the Police.   This is our job.   This is what we do.  So welcome and enjoy your visit to our world.  - The Webmaster

The Fraternal Order of Police is the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 2,300 lodges and nearly 325,000 members. The Colorado FOP is the largest law enforcement organization in the state.  We are the voice of those who dedicate their lives to protecting and serving our communities.  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.

The Fraternal Order of Police Lodge Three's Longmont Police Officers Association is committed to improving the working conditions of police officers and the safety of those we serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation.  We are a professional police labor organization committed to the promotion of our profession and protecting the interests of our membership and the citizens of Longmont.  FOP Lodge 6 is part of the Colorado Fraternal Order of Police.  We are also closely aligned with our brother and sister firefighters of the Longmont Professional Firefighters Association-IAFF, and work together in areas of common interest to promote public safety. 

The Executive Board of FOP Lodge 6 realizes communication is the key to the success of any organization.   Therefore, this website has been developed by me as a primary source of information for our members.   We welcome all visitors to our website.  We hope you find the information contained herein informative and interesting.  There are informative and fun police related links, which we hope you will take the time to explore. 

Fop Lodge 6 replaced it's successor organization LPOA, which had been in existence for over twenty years.  We pay tribute to all past officers of both  organizations who made us what we are today.  They held their posts for no personal gain and worked unselfishly for the betterment of all Longmont police officers and our profession.  This website is dedicated to our membership, the Longmont Police Department and the citizens we serve.   It is designed to portray our association and our police department in a truthful and realistic manner. 

FOP Lodge 6 believes this site will attract potential police officer candidates to seek employment at one of the best departments in Colorado, the Longmont Police Department.  The men and women of the Longmont Police Department provide police services to a population of over 80,000 and growing.  Longmont, Colorado is located on the front range of the Rocky Mountains approximately 35 miles north of Denver.  If you are considering a career with the Longmont Police Department we suggest you contact FOP Lodge 6 (contact us) for information on pay and benefits.  Or you can go to the City's recruitment page: (Recruitment)  We also invite you to sign our Guestbook and leave your thoughts or comments about our website:  (Guestbook)
