The National Police Association on Friday "strongly" endorsed Kash Patel, President-elect Trump's nominee for FBI director, and urged the Senate to confirm him.

"We firmly believe that Kash Patel's appointment as FBI Director will mark a pivotal moment for law enforcement and public safety across the United States. His leadership will bring a renewed focus on collaboration, ethical standards, and the relentless pursuit of justice," the organization said in a statement.

"We are confident that under his stewardship, the FBI will thrive in its vital mission to protect and serve the American people," the group added.
