The National Fraternal Order of Police has endorsed Donald Trump and JD Vance as they are running for the White House against Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in 2024. This comes as the race is heating up going into the final months of the election season.  

A letter from the National Fraternal Order of Police was posted by the Trump-Vance campaign which read: "Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, announced today that the members of the FOP voted to endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States."

"Public safety and border security will be important issues in the last months of this campaign," Yoes said. "Our members carefully considered the positions of the candidates on the issues and there was no doubt—zero doubt—as to who they want as our President for the next four years: Donald J. Trump."

According to the letter two thirds of all state lodges that are members of the NFOP must support the endorsement of a candidate in order for it to go through. "The FOP's endorsement process is unique in that every member has the opportunity, through our 46 State Lodges, to make their choice known to the National Trustee. Once informed by the membership as to their choice, the National Trustee casts his or her vote at our National Board meeting. In order to secure our endorsement, the candidate needs the support of two-thirds of the State Lodges, a benchmark former President Trump easily cleared," the letter stated. 

The NFOP reiterated their support for Trump that they had in 2016 as well as in 2020. The letter detailed that leadership of the NFOP met with Trump personally, but that no such meeting has been able to take place with Harrs. The information gathered in the meeting as well as in a questionnaire sent to both candidates was sent to nearly 400,000 members of the NFOP to help them in their decision.
