History of MCOFU
Founded to protect, represent, and empower Massachusetts correctional officers. A union built on the principle that those who serve deserve a voice.
Our foundation
Built on principle and purpose
The story of MCOFU
The Massachusetts Correctional Officers Fraternal Union was born from a simple truth: those who stand watch deserve to be heard. In the decades since our founding, we have fought for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the dignity that every correctional officer has earned through their service. We exist because our members matter.
