Law Enforcement Organizations Express Support for Trump Attorney General Nominee

Law enforcement groups view Sessions, who appeared before the Senate in a confirmation hearing Tuesday, as someone who will bring a "police-first" mentality to Justice that they say was absent during President Obama's eight years in office.

Law enforcement officials are backing Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) as Donald Trump's pick to lead the Department of Justice.

Law enforcement groups view Sessions, who appeared before the Senate in a confirmation hearing Tuesday, as someone who will bring a "police-first" mentality to Justice that they say was absent during President Obama's eight years in office.

In Sessions, they see a traditional law-and-order style enforcer who they believe will repair the relationship between the feds and local police that has grown frosty in the Obama administration.

Sessions is backed by key figures from within several prominent police groups, including the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the nation’s largest police union; the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association; the National Association of Police Organizations; and the National Sheriffs Association, the Hill reports.
