Memberships


See below and tap on the image to complete a membership application.
Application Guidelines:
🪪 Retiree Applicants must include a photo of their retired law enforcement identification.
🚔 Retired officers currently serving in a Hire-Back, Reserve, or Part-Time capacity with a government agency are encouraged to complete an Active Membership. Since the Retiree tier does not include Legal Aid Plan coverage, you must apply for Active Membership to receive full benefits.
👥 Associate "B" Applicants must include a valid driver’s license photo. A criminal background check will be conducted for all Associate "B" applicants. Our membership will review prior arrests or convictions before a vote is held. While such history is not an automatic disqualification, final approval is contingent on a majority vote. If you have any questions, please email us before submitting your application at fop9@ncfoplodge.com. If your membership is denied, you will be refunded the membership fee; however, the $50 fee for a background check is non-refundable.
👥 Employees of CMPD and Mint Hill PD have the option to enroll in payroll deduction through their agency. When completing your application and selecting one of these agencies, you’ll be prompted to enroll in this program. At the time of application, the full membership fee must be paid to activate coverage for the upcoming year. Payroll deductions will begin a few weeks after your membership is approved, and those deductions are applied toward your renewal for the following year—ensuring continuous coverage without interruption. If you choose to enroll, your membership will automatically renew each year. Cost is $5/week ($10 bi-weekly).
For Active & Associate "A" members without a payroll deduction option, you can opt into monthly automatic ACH withdrawals. At the time of application, the full membership fee must be paid to activate coverage for the upcoming year. Monthly ACH deductions will begin a few weeks after your membership is approved, and those deductions are applied toward your renewal for the following year—ensuring continuous coverage without interruption. If you choose to enroll, your membership will automatically renew each year. Cost is $21.67/month.
If you have any questions before submitting your application, please feel free to contact us at fop9@ncfoplodge9.com.
