WASHINGTON, D.C. – Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, announced today that President Donald J. Trump accepted an invitation to address the FOP’s National Board of Trustees at their fall meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina.

“President Trump led our nation admirably through some very tough times,” Yoes said. “He provided our nation with strong, effective leadership during his first term, and now that he is seeking election to a second term, we think it’s important to have him join us to talk about all of the issues facing our profession.”

The National Board of the Fraternal Order of Police is comprised of a seven-member Executive Board and a National Trustee from each of the organizations’ 46 State Lodges.  

“We are eager to see President Trump again after meeting with him at Mar-A-Lago earlier this year,” Yoes said. “He was a great friend to the FOP while President and we look forward to hearing from him—and having him hear from us—on the issues important to the rank-and-file officers the FOP represents.”
