Do police unions endorse Trump?
Unions representing a large majority of the country's 800,000 law-enforcement officers have endorsed President Trump for reelection.
The largest union, the Fraternal Order of Police, has endorsed the Republican contender in every presidential election since 2000, except for 2012, when it made no endorsement. "Trump has made it clear he has our backs," said the president of the 355,000-member group. The no. 2 group, the National Association of Police Organizations, representing 241,000 officers, endorsed the president in July. A third, the International Union of Police Associations, endorsed his reelection a year ago. Unions representing officers in Florida, New York City, New England and New Jersey, among other places, have echoed the national organizations' support.
