Rhode Island Lodge Fraternal Order of Police Announces Support of Whitehouse

Cranston, R.I. - The Rhode Island Lodge Fraternal Order of Police endorsed Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Sheldon Whitehouse, highlighting his extensive law enforcement experience as U.S. Attorney and Rhode Island Attorney General and his commitment to support local law enforcement officials in their fight against crime on our streets.

"It's time for Congress to take decisive action to make our streets and neighborhoods safer," Whitehouse said. "To do that, we need to make sure that our first responders and law enforcement officers have the support they need to do their jobs. I'm honored that the Rhode Island Lodge Fraternal Order of Police has recognized my dedication to law enforcement and I pledge to continue to support the needs of the law enforcement community if Rhode Island sends me to Washington."

The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) is the world's largest organization of sworn law enforcement officers, with more than 324,000 members in more than 2,100 lodges. The FOP is committed to improving the working conditions of law enforcement officers and the safety of those they serve through education, legislation, information, community involvement, and employee representation.
