U.S. Police Trade Union Deletes Posts Offering To Hire Officers Who Have Recently Been Suspended | International News

The Brevard County Fraternal Order of Police has deleted a post that it published on its Facebook page about hiring officers who have recently been suspended/fired, following a backlash on social media. 

On Saturday, a social media manager for the police union posted a message that said:

“Hey, Buffalo 57… and Atlanta 6… we are hiring in Florida. Lower taxes, no spineless leadership, or dumb mayors rambling on at press conference…Plus…we got your back!”

The ‘Buffalo 57’ refers to the 57 police officers from a specialist unit within the Buffalo Police Department who all resigned from their unit (Emergency Response Team) after two of their colleagues were suspended after allegedly pushing over a protester. 

Many civilian news outlets reported that the 57 officers resigned from their roles as police officers when in fact they resigned from the specialist unit that they had volunteered to join. 

The ‘Atlanta 6’ refers to the six Atlanta police officers who were suspended from active duty and charged with various offences after they stopped a car which they thought had protesters in it. 

In America, the Fraternal Order of Police is not an official law enforcement department as has been suggested in some parts of the civilian media. 

Instead, they are a trade union which represents over 346,000 police officers in 2,100 local chapters. 

The Brevard County Sheriff’s Office was quick to disassociate itself from the post. 

Sheriff Wayne Ivey, from Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, said:

“The ‘Brevard County FOP’ page and organisation has no official affiliation with the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office and was not authorised in any capacity by me or our agency to recruit or comment on our behalf”.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
