Police Associations
Currently Supporting H.R. 218
Following is an updated list of the diverse police organizations that currently support H.R. 218. Already during the 106th Congress, we have heard from many of the groups who have endorsed this life-saving measure in the past, and we have gained some new friends in the process. Incidentally, an asterisk denotes the groups that have come on board during this congressional session. We are eager to get new letters of support from old friends, so if your group’s name doesn’t appear here, we hope this call-to-action will prompt your organization’s leadership to send us an official letter of support. Kudos to the groups listed below ­ we couldn’t do it without you!
