How The Plan Works

- Radio
- Pager

This plan is managed by YOUR F.O.P. The President of the lodge will appoint a member of the lodge to manage the club and that member will have authority to disperse funds should the need arise. All funds will be housed at the Professional Police Officers Credit Union 1502 E Washington St Indianapolis, IN 46201.
