The United Federation of Police Officers (UFPO), a law enforcement union, announced Wednesday that it “firmly supports” FBI director nominee Kash Patel ahead of his Senate confirmation hearing next month.
“We are proud to announce our unwavering support for Kash Patel to become Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI),” the organization, which represents law enforcement professionals across the country, said in a letter. Ta.
The letter said:
Kash Patel is a shining example of dedication to justice, public safety, and accountability. During my career as a federal prosecutor, I worked with law enforcement to crack down on international drug cartels, prosecute violent criminals, and dismantle criminal organizations that threaten our communities. His work has always reflected a deep respect for the service and sacrifice of law enforcement officers at all levels.
The organization also praised his work as a senior adviser on the House Intelligence Committee, where he exposed how Democrats weaponized the FBI against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump.
“[H]It plays a critical role in ensuring government accountability and transparency, and its value is essential to building trust within law enforcement and the communities we serve.” the organization wrote. “His service as Chief of Staff to the Acting Secretary of Defense further highlights his leadership skills, commitment to national security, and ability to manage complex organizations under pressure.”
UFPO said the FBI is at a “crossroads” and needs a leader who understands the importance of rebuilding trust and strengthening partnerships between federal agencies and local law enforcement. Ta.
“Kash Patel has shown time and time again that he has the vision, courage, and expertise to do just that. His unwavering support for the rule of law and dedication to protecting the American people have led him to do just that.” He makes him the ideal candidate to lead the FBI during these difficult times.”
The National Federation of Police Officers proudly supports Kash Patel as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). We urge his confirmation and are confident that his leadership will restore the integrity of the FBI while fostering stronger relationships with law enforcement agencies across the country.
The letter was signed by UFPO President Gerald J. Flynn Jr. The organization was the first law enforcement labor organization to endorse Trump in 2015, and again in 2016, 2020, and before the 2024 New Hampshire primary.
“To realize his vision of 'Make America Great Again,' he needs the team he has chosen to 'Make America Safe Again' more than ever,” it concluded.
