The New Jersey State Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed Republican Jack Ciattarelli for governor.
“Law enforcement needs the support of our political leadership,” Ciattarelli said. “As Governor, they will have it from me, the Attorney General, and my entire administration.”
Ciattarelli pledged to do “everything in my power to support law enforcement – and their families.”
“Working in close partnership, we can and will make communities all across New Jersey safe,” he stated. “In a number of ways, the job of law enforcement has never been more difficult, which is why recruitment, retention, and morale are down. We can change all that by restoring respect for authority, law and order and, most of all, the men and women in blue who are trained and dedicated professionals very much committed to serving and protecting.”
Ciattarelli has been endorsed by the Association of Former New Jersey State Troopers and the New Jersey Retired Police and Firemen’s Association.
The New Jersey State Policemen’s Benevolent Association has not yet endorsed in the governor’s race between Ciattarelli and Democrat Mikie Sherrill.
