The largest police union in Florida announced Thursday that it is backing former president Donald Trump in the November election.
Florida Police Benevolent Association (PBA) President John Kazanjian told Fox News Digital: .
"It's no secret that over the past four years, under the current administration, America has regressed. Law enforcement officers are leaving their jobs in record numbers throughout this country, crime is rising in our major cities, and over 8 million migrants have entered this country, putting a heavy and untenable strain on the ability of local municipalities to effectively maintain public safety and provide essential services to the citizens of this country.
"Moving forward, we will ask all of our 30,000 members, their friends and family, and all Floridians, who love and respect law enforcement, to cast their ballots in support of President Donald J. Trump. Together we'll make America great again," Kazanjian wrote.
The union decided last summer to back their state's governor, Ron DeSantis, in the Republican primary before he ultimately dropped out following the Iowa caucuses in January.
