LEGAL DEFENSE PLANMinnesota Fraternal Order of Police Legal Defense Plan The MNFOP is pleased to announce we have made improvements to our Legal Defense Plan effective July 31st, 2023. We have decided to allow members to choose an a la carte plan that fits their needs. The National Legal Defense Plan for on duty incidents. The National Plan for Retired/conceal and carry coverage. The State Legal Plan to cover off duty criminal and administrative/employment civil proceedings which are law enforcement related. Our plan continues to be the only legal defense plan in Minnesota that covers on and off duty incidents for criminal charges. A major benefit of pairing with the National Plan is there will no longer be a cap on duty related experts and expenses. Experts in officer involved shootings have become increasingly crucial and expensive. In addition, the National plan also covers appeals. Our state attorney Rob Fowler will continue to administer our off duty coverage part of the plan, and he also has been and continues to be an attorney on our National Plan. We have added the Carlson Law Firm to our plan.
