Amid crime-ravaged streets, ABQ Police Officers’ Association endorses Trump

The Albuquerque Police Officers’ Association (APOA) has officially endorsed 45th President Donald J. Trump for the presidency in the upcoming 2024 election, citing his commitment to law enforcement and public safety. In a letter from APOA President Shaun Willoughby, the union highlighted Trump’s track record of supporting police officers and prioritizing policies that ensure the safety of communities.

In the endorsement letter, Willoughby emphasized the union’s appreciation for Trump’s consistent support of law enforcement, stating, “President Trump has consistently shown unwavering support for our police officers, advocating for policies that protect and empower those who serve on the front lines.” He further highlighted Trump’s opposition to the defund the police movement, noting that Trump’s stance aligns with the values and mission of the police union.

Willoughby also praised Trump for his work on community policing and enhancing officer training, saying, “Under his leadership, we witnessed efforts to strengthen community policing, improve training, and enhance safety measures.”

The endorsement comes as the APOA, representing law enforcement professionals in New Mexico’s largest city, focuses on supporting candidates who prioritize the safety of officers and the communities they serve. 

The union expressed confidence that Trump’s leadership would continue to provide the necessary resources to ensure public safety across the nation, especially under a wave of violent crime in “progressive”-run cities like Albuquerque.

“We believe that President Trump’s proven track record and strong leadership make him the best candidate to address the challenges facing our nation,” Willoughby said, urging both the union’s members and the public to back Trump in the upcoming election.

This endorsement adds to Trump’s growing list of law enforcement support as he seeks to return to the White House in 2024. Public safety, crime, and support for law enforcement remain major campaign issues across the country, and the APOA’s backing underscores the role these issues are expected to play in the upcoming election.

    Trump has the ability and strength to curb the rise in crime not only in New Mexico but in the whole country. That is why they endorsed him. I’m an Independent and there is no way I will vote for a candidate that can’t or won’t answer questions. Trump has our vote.👍

  2. I appreciate the courage and brave stance the Albuquerque Police
    Officer Assoc. has taken endorsing Pres. Trump. The people are
    behind law enforcement (all branches), military, and first
    responders. We are awake and see how much damage the woke
    Democrats have destroyed NM.

  3. We are so fortunate to have APD – recognizing REALITY instead of the Commie FANTASY endorsed by Kamala/Timpon and the DemocRat Party.

  4. I missed a couple of people who came to my door yesterday. I didn’t hear the doorbell. They left flyers for Gabe Vasquez. Wish I could have “entertained” them…they would have gotten an earfull from me!!! I’m voting for Yvette Herrell. #VoteRightNM

  5. I’m sure Mayor Tiny Tim Keller and his socialist regime, as well as our Tiny TyRunt MLG, are quite peeved by APD not toeing the socialist line We know the working people of NM are fully behind law enforcement , military, and first responders while the democrats are fully trying to defund the police and want feel good people dealing with the criminals if the state and city

  6. I am so proud of APD. The people of NM need to wake up. Every officer puts their life on the line. President Trump backs are law enforcement.

  7. Unfortunately for NM there are too many stupid and ignorant people (including most of my family who are teachers) who believe the socialist nonsense. I would love that APD is right and the socialists lose but I am afraid NM is lost. Stock up; arm up; The next few years will be very interesting.

  8. Anyone else have issues sharing this on FB? I posted and almost immediately got dinged for “violent, hateful or disturbing content” and when I appealed them pulling it down they informed me that the decision stands. And we are meant to believe that Democrats are not being amplified over Republicans on social media?

  9. THANK YOU TO THE ABQ PD! TRUMP 2024

    I’m furious about the crime! Look at what happened in Supper Rock Park the other night!

    When we moved back from CO in the early 90’s my ex and I and our kids lived in this neighborhood for 12 years, it was a very calm and family friendly area. Awesome area.

    This is the result of RAUL TORREZ AND GRISHAM’S “GOVERNMENT”.

    This is the result of GEORGE SOROS funding DA’s to destroy their cities around our country. Raul Torrez was DA of ABQ for two terms and implemented catch and release. DANGEROUS CRIMINALS were allowed to walk free. Worst record as DA ever!

    I want these criminals OUT OF NM for good….

    I’m speaking of Torrez and Grisham. Get rid of them and watch the crime all but disappear. IMPEACH!

    1. Agree 100% Those two Soros funded criminals are single-handedly destroying NM.

      Worst governor and AG ever. But unfortunately we have a bunch of RINOS in Congress and they don’t have the cojones to IMPEACH either one.

      NM is the worst state in the country.

  10. Gabe Vasquez has proven he has no concerns for our freedoms and the Constitution. His score card is 0%. Yvette Herrell voted in line with the
    Constitution and our freedoms and her score card was 92%. It’s easy to see who deserves our vote and support. We love you Yvette!!
