Martin Foncello endorsed by the CT State Fraternal Order of Police

Brookfield, Conn. – The state chapter of the nation’s largest law enforcement agency said Thursday
they are backing Martin Foncello, State Representative for the 107th House District in
Brookfield, Bethel, and Newtown for re-election.

The Connecticut State Fraternal Order of Police officially endorsed Foncello, the Republican
candidate for the 107th, believing he will best serve the needs of the law enforcement community
and the public safety for Connecticut citizens.

“It’s an honor to receive the endorsement of the Connecticut State Fraternal Order of Police,” said
Foncello. “For over 14 years, I worked in New York City as a Senior Intelligence Officer with the
newly created Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Office of Intelligence and Analysis acting
as a liaison to the NYPD, FDNY and Office of Emergency Management. Working closely with these
agencies gave me a stronger appreciation of the job they do day in and day out.”
Foncello was proud to support law enforcement officers and their families by cosponsoring several
pieces of legislation this year, which have been signed into law. During the 2024 session, he
co-sponsored bills to expand the time period when the death of an officer is considered in the line of
duty to include 24 hours after training or engaging in duties, and to require restitution to a law
enforcement unit when a police animal is injured or killed.

The Fraternal Order of Police is the nation’s largest law enforcement organization, with over
373,000 members and over 2,200 lodges throughout the United States. Its Connecticut chapter is
based in Guilford. Founded in 1915, the F.O.P. represents professional, full time officers from all
agencies of law enforcement, according to the organization’s website. The organization is dedicated
to improving working conditions, wages and benefits, while also monitoring legislation affecting law
enforcement on the local, state and national levels.
