Arizona Fraternal Order of Police Endorses Jan Brewer for Governor of Arizona

July 22, 2010

The Arizona State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police endorses and fully supports Jan Brewer for Governor of Arizona.

The Governor has been a consistent supporter of law enforcement during her 28 years in public service, in every elected post she has held. The Arizona FOP endorsement committee evaluated each gubernatorial candidate across a range of public safety issues and found Jan Brewer to be a true standout. During this past legislative session, for example, Gov. Brewer signed two bills that ranked among the Arizona FOP's highest priorities.

SB1325 greatly expanded the due process rights of law enforcement officers, including granting officers fair rights to representation in the event of an investigation and ensuring that officers are provided with the facts that are the basis of any complaints. SB 1124 improved the deferred retirement option plan for corrections officers and extended this valuable program through 2016.

Most important of all, Governor Brewer led the charge to pass Proposition 100, which protected law enforcement jobs across the state and prevented budget cuts that would have decimated the state Department of Public Safety. The Governor’s efforts directly resulted in Prop 100 being placed on the May 18th ballot and her leadership helped ensure its landslide victory with 64 percent of the vote statewide.

In sum, Jan Brewer gets it. Consistently, for nearly three decades, she has been a strong advocate for public safety, for keeping citizens, neighborhoods and the men and women working the front lines safe. Today, the Fraternal Order of Police – the largest law enforcement organization in the United States with more than 326,000 members – is proud to be there for her.

Fraternally,

John Ortolano, President
Fraternal Order of Police
Arizona State Lodge
