The Ridgefield Police Union, which represents the officers of the Ridgefield Police Department, unanimously endorsed Bob Hebert for election to Ridgefield’s Board of Police Commissioners during their meeting last week. The union, which is made up of patrol officers, sergeants lieutenants and captains, has not regularly endorsed candidates for town boards.
In his endorsement letter, Detective Tom Dardis, President of the Ridgefield Police Union, stated “Our endorsement is based upon your impressive record of accomplishments, your understanding of the challenges law enforcement is facing, your commitment to public safety and your ongoing support of officers which greatly enhances the safety of the citizens of Ridgefield.”
In response to the endorsement, Bob Hebert stated, “I am deeply honored to receive the Ridgefield Police Union endorsement. The men and women of law enforcement put their lives on the line for us every day to serve and protect our community. I will continue to support our police and look forward to working with them to ensure the safety of our town and our residents.”
