FOP Lebanon Lodge 42

WELCOME

Welcome to the Lebanon Lodge No. 42 Fraternal Order of Police website, serving law enforcement professionals throughout all of Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Since 1926, our Lodge has brought officers together to protect their interests, support their families, and strengthen the profession. Through advocacy, member benefits, peer support, and community involvement, we carry forward a tradition of police officers serving police officers.

SUPPORT PA HOUSE BILL 911

PA House Bill 453 now contains the survivor health benefit provisions that were developed through HB 911. On October 21, 2026, HB 453 was passed by both the Senate and the House. This Bill now awaits Governor Shapiro's signature. Once signed, this Bill will provide for ongoing health benefits to the survivors of fallen Officers. Many times, the families of fallen Municipal or Regional Police Officers attended their loved one’s funeral, no longer having health insurance. It was an injustice on top of a tragedy. While many would say, “Never forget,” one of the first things that happened was the survivors were literally forgotten. No more. We are grateful the PA legislature recognized this was wrong, and both chambers unanimously made it right. We trust that Governor Shapiro will sign this into law, bringing relief to survivors all across the Commonwealth.

ATTENTION RETIREES

COLA PASSED! Act 21 of 2026 - Special Pension COLA for Municipal and State Law Enforcement

This summer Pennsylvania enacted a new Special Ad Hoc Postretirement Adjustment for eligible retired municipal police officers and firefighters (Act 21 of 2026). Act 21 provides qualifying retirees with a permanent increase in their monthly pension benefit, effective August 1, 2026. The law represents a significant victory for the PA FOP and our allies in providing sorely needed relief for our retirees and their families. Please see the Retiree Page for more information at https://www.foplebanon42.com/?zone=/unionactive/private_view_page.cfm&page=Retirees.

NOVEMBER MEETING:

The NOVEMBER monthly meeting will be Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 1900 hours, at the Lodge building.

Lodge No. 42 was pleased to join with the National Fraternal Order of Police and National Auxiliary in recognizing July 2026 as the inaugural Law Enforcement Child Month, honoring the children who stand behind the badge. These young family members often share in the sacrifices, challenges, and commitments that come with a career in law enforcement. Through this initiative, we celebrate their strength, resilience, and important role in our law enforcement community. Law Enforcement Child Month also provides an opportunity to support programs that positively impact the lives of these children. We encourage you to learn more about this meaningful cause and consider supporting its mission. Please visit https://gratitudeinitiative.org/ for more information. We look forward to recognizing each July as LE Child Month, letting LE Children know their commitment and sacrifices don't go unseen.

Please help support the Sgt. Sheryl Pierce memorial by purchasing a paver. Sgt. Pierce passed away on September 14, 2013. You can learn more about Sheryl, her career, and the Memorial in the PDF below.
