Police union endorses Whitehouse for Senate

The International Brotherhood of Police Officers announced today that it is endorsing U.S. Senate candidate Sheldon Whitehouse.

The largest law enforcement labor union in the country, the IBPO cited Democrat Whitehouse's experience in criminal justice and support for the law enforcement community as reasons for the endorsement.

Whitehouse, a former U.S. attorney and Rhode Island attorney general, is expected to be the state's Democratic nominee in November, squaring off against either Cranston Mayor Stephen Laffey or the incumbent Lincoln Chafee, both Republicans.
