Since 1993, the FOP has maintained a National Legislative Office, now known as the Government and Media Affairs Center, on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., with a full-time professional staff that actively lobbies all components of the federal government—from Congress to federal departments to the White House—on public safety and policing issues.

The FOP’s influence on public safety and policing issues is second to none. Presidents and members of Congress from both parties have consistently sought the FOP’s views on the most pressing public safety and policing issues of the day. There is virtually no public safety or policing bill enacted in recent memory that was not influenced by the National FOP.

The Center also produces the FOP Weekly Update, a key resource to help our members stay informed on the legislation that is pertinent to law enforcement. It is also a great way to stay up to date on what the FOP is doing for our members in Washington, D.C. This one-of-a-kind weekly update is available to all members through the NFOP Mobile App, or you can sign up to receive the update via email .

The National FOP and the National Legislative Program, led by the Government and Media Affairs Center, is the most active and comprehensive of any law enforcement organization in Washington, D.C. We are the #1 voice for America’s law enforcement in the nation’s capital.
