Police unions endorse Gentile’s re-election bid
Councilman Vincent Gentile was surrounded by police in John Paul Jones Park Wednesday morning. No, the two-term councilman wasn’t in trouble with the law – far from it, in fact.
Leaders of four law enforcement unions came to the Bay Ridge park to announce that they are endorsing Gentile’s re-election bid.
The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, the Detectives’ Endowment Association, the Captains’ Endowment Association and the Lieutenants’ Benevolent Association all announced that they were supporting Gentile (D-Bay Ridge-Dyker Heights-Bensonhurst) for re-election.
