The International Union of Police Associations (IUPA) has officially endorsed Donald Trump for the presidency of the United States, according to a statement released on Tuesday.
The IUPA, representing law enforcement officers, cited Trump's unwavering support for the police and contrasted it with what they perceive as the Democrats' soft-on-crime policies.
In their statement, the IUPA's President, Sam A. Cabral, proudly announced the unanimous endorsement of Donald J. Trump by the union's Executive Board of Directors. The group expressed their admiration for Trump's unparalleled history of backing law enforcement, stating, "President Trump's history of support for the men and women of Law Enforcement is unmatched." They further emphasized that his policies and actions have been aimed at enhancing safety in communities and supporting the officers who serve as the shield. The IUPA firmly believes that Trump has earned and deserves their wholehearted support.
This endorsement comes at a critical time in the presidential race, as both candidates seek to secure the backing of influential organizations and interest groups. The IUPA's endorsement is expected to bolster Trump's image as a strong advocate for law enforcement and public safety.
