The Lodge of the Year Award, launching in 2025, recognizes an outstanding SCFOP lodge that exemplifies the core values of the Fraternal Order of Police. This annual award honors a lodge that demonstrates exceptional innovation, commitment to law enforcement, and meaningful community impact. Lodges are evaluated based on membership growth, successful programs and events, legislative advocacy, community service initiatives, and officer support services. Nominations may be submitted by local lodges, members of the SCFOP Board of Directors, or the lodges themselves. The winner will be announced at the SCFOP Mini-Conference, receiving a commemorative plaque or trophy and recognition on the SCFOP website and social media. The deadline for nominations is May 2, 2025.
