The Fellowship of Christian Peace Officers-USA (FCPO) is a nonprofit Christian ministry to the 800,000+ law enforcement officers across the U.S. With over 260 local chapters established since 1974, FCPO has encouraged, equipped, and guided thousands of officers in discovering the hope and fulfillment found only in a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Law enforcement officers engage and perceive the world differently than others. They face what others fear. They typically see more tragedy, violence, pain and suffering in a week than most people see in a lifetime. Today’s anti-police climate places a huge additional burden on an already stress filled profession. As a result, divorce, domestic violence, alcoholism, and drug abuse plague law enforcement. The suicide risk for officers is also higher than for the general population. They often question their value to society and whether it's all worth it. Officers often isolate themselves from those outside the profession and only trust their own. Through local chapters, members, and the online community, FCPO brings Christian officers together in a welcoming environment for fellowship and support. They are encouraged to embrace their profession as God’s personal calling and understand that their service is to God as his tool for serving, protecting, ministering, and accountability. Resources and materials FCPO provides encourage spiritual commitment and growth within officers to create a firm Christian worldview, enabling them to engage the many challenges and difficulties they face daily. Through local chapters and individually, FCPO members have opportunities to develop strong ties with fellow Christians in law enforcement. Committed Christian officers can take the love of Jesus into places and situations where civilians could never go. Can you imagine the impact on society of law enforcement officers responding to every call for service with Christian compassion? This is REAL police reform!
