We
are the labor union for Police Officers in the City of Pittsburgh.
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. |
