The Police Officers Association of Connecticut (POACT) has endorsed State Rep. Martin Foncello’s reelection in the 107th House District in Brookfield, Bethel, and Newtown.

In its endorsement of Foncello, POACT wrote it was based on, “your strong support on issues that are important to police officers and their families, including your commitment to public safety and protection, and to fair working conditions for the men and women who put their lives on the line each day to protect and serve our communities.”

The organization represents municipal police unions across the State of Connecticut, approximately 5,000 sworn police officers from both small towns and cities. The organization was founded in 2016 to bring all police officers together, regardless of union affiliation, to be a strong and unified voice in public policy and legislation.

“For more than a decade, I served as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s liaison to the NYPD and I’m proud to support legislation that will help men and women in uniform, and their families,” said Foncello. “I co-sponsored bills this year to establish a Fallen Officers Fund, to revise line of duty death declaration procedures, and to require restitution to the law enforcement unit, entity or individual that owns a police animal when they are injured or killed.”

Foncello, of Brookfield, is a member of the committees on Aging, Appropriations, and Education. For more information about Foncello or his platform, visit https://foncellofor107th.com/ or https://www.facebook.com/foncellofor107th/.
