Sunshine State’s Largest Law Enforcement Organization Backs Proven Public Safety Champion
PALM COAST, FL— Today, the Florida Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), the largest law enforcement organization of sworn officers in the state, announced its official endorsement of Paul Renner for Florida Governor.
The Florida Fraternal Order of Police represents 25,000 law enforcement professionals across the state and supports leaders committed to protecting public safety and the rule of law.
“Paul Renner stands apart as the clear choice for the endorsement of the Florida Fraternal Order of Police. Leadership means understanding that public safety is not negotiable, and Renner has consistently demonstrated that law and order is the foundation upon which every successful community is built,” said Corey Logan, President of the Florida Fraternal Order of Police.
Logan went on to cite how as the only former prosecutor in this race, Renner brings firsthand experience with the criminal justice system and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by law enforcement officers, prosecutors, victims, and communities across our state. More importantly, he has translated that understanding into meaningful legislative victories.
Under Renner’s leadership, Florida strengthened retirement security for Special Risk employees through reforms to the Florida Retirement System. He championed legislation that provided law enforcement officers with the resources, protections, and support they need to keep communities across Florida safe. And he expanded access to cutting-edge Rapid DNA technology to help solve crimes more quickly.
Most importantly, during his time as Speaker, Renner ushered the passing of the HALO Law, which established critical protections for law enforcement officers, firefighters, and emergency responders.
“Paul Renner has proven himself, from day one, to be a dedicated, loyal and honest leader. He has earned the trust and respect of Florida law enforcement because he has consistently fought for policies that strengthen public safety, protect officers, support victims, and uphold the rule of law. His record speaks for itself and we are proud to endorse him for Florida Governor,” Logan added.
“I am honored to receive the endorsement of the Florida Fraternal Order of Police,” said Paul Renner. “Florida’s law enforcement officers put themselves on the line every day to protect our communities. As Governor, I will continue to back law enforcement, fight crime, and ensure our officers have the support they deserve.”
