Donald Trump continues to win the confidence of the nation’s law enforcement officers — of particular interest to voters in a dangerous age. So far this year, Mr. Trump has been endorsed by the National Fraternal Order of Police, which represents 330,000 officers; the National Border Patrol Council, representing 16,500 Border Patrol agents; and the National Immigration and Customs Enforcement Council, which counts 5,000 federal immigration officers in its ranks.

And new to the list Thursday, all in Colorado: Denver Police Protective Association, Aurora Police Association and Colorado Springs Police Protective Association, which collectively represent 2,700 officers.

Mr. Trump has won their support with his vow to “make America safe again,” along with succinct proposals to enforce existing immigration laws and “move criminal aliens out day one, in joint operations with local, state, and federal law enforcement” — this according to a statement of campaign positions.

One law enforcement organization explains the candidate’s appeal.

“We need a person in the White House who doesn’t fear the media, who doesn’t embrace political correctness, who doesn’t need the money, who is familiar with success, who won’t bow to foreign dictators, who is pro-military and values law enforcement, and who is angry for America and not subservient to the interests of other nations. Donald Trump is such a man,” noted the National Border Patrol Council in its endorsement.

“Mr. Trump is as bold and outspoken as other world leaders who put their country’s interests ahead of all else. Americans deserve to benefit for once, instead of always paying and apologizing. Our current political establishment has bled this country dry, sees their power evaporating, and isn’t listening to voters who do all the heavy lifting,” the council said.

This is such an accomplishment for Donald Trump, and such an honor too, to have the support of these wonderful law enforcement officers who protect us and our borders. They deserve a President like Donald Trump who will help them do their jobs the right way to protect all of our citizens and nation.
