Police Chiefs Endorse Bill McCollum

In the closing days of a bitter Republican gubernatorial primary, Attorney General Bill McCollum received one more endorsement from law enforcement on Thursday when the Chiefs for Quality Law Enforcement's Committee of Continuous Existence announced its backing on Thursday.

It is a tremendous honor to have Florida police chiefs supporting my campaign to be our states next chief executive, said McCollum.As the group representing police chiefs from across Florida, the Chiefs for Quality Law Enforcement is a strong advocate for helping our law enforcement community to keep our cities and towns safe. As governor, I will continue to pursue initiatives to protect children, seniors and families, and put more criminals behind bars.

In the race for governor, there is only one candidate who has the record and the character to continue making Florida a safer place to live, work and raise a family, and that candidate is Attorney General Bill McCollum, said Amy Mercer, the executive director of the group. We look forward to working with Bill McCollum on initiatives to improve public safety.
