CPOA FOP Lodge 100 Legal Defense Plan
CPOA is proud to provide our supervisory, managerial, and executive level members with access to a Legal Defense Plan (LDP) of the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).
CPOA’s Board of Directors recognize that legal defense protection is a necessity for law enforcement professionals. As the frequency and cost of allegations rise, the FOP Legal Defense Plan offers you a very affordable and comprehensive plan.
** NEW FOR 2026 ** All new sign-ups and renewals for LDP will be directed to FOP’s LDP website to create an individual account, so you can better directly manage your LDP plan! You will still sign up and pay for FOP lodge membership or renewal through your CPOA portal. See below for ‘How to Apply’.

How do I file a claim?
All potential claims must be reported to Sedgwick Claims Management services. Please submit your claim using the Claim Reporting Form. Sedgwick will review the claim, make a coverage determination and communicate with you and your chosen attorney.
Do I get to choose my own attorney?
Yes. If you choose a Plan Attorney, there is no deductible and no limit on attorney fees. If you choose a Non-Plan Attorney, there is a $250 deductible and a limit on attorney fees. A Non-Plan Attorney can become a Plan Attorney by simply enrolling and meeting the Plan’s requirements at the time he or she begins to represent you.
