PHOENIX — The National Fraternal Order of Police, with more than 370,000 members nationwide, said it no longer works with Thin Blue Line Benefits.
Thin Blue Line is a health care company based in Texas that promised to sell insurance to retired police officers, firefighters, and their families.
The company paid the NFOP to use its logo as they marketed insurance plans to thousands of retired first responders and family members across the country, according to NFOP General Counsel Larry James.
“We had a license agreement with TBL. We have terminated that agreement,” James said in an email.
Thin Blue Line also used local chapters of the FOP and other police organizations to advertise their products. Now, state regulators in Arizona and Ohio allege those products were sold unlawfully.
