HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) - "Undoubtedly, public safety has always been of utmost importance to Governor Lingle and continues to be so," said Tenari Maafala, president of the State of Hawaii Organization of Police Officers.

SHOPO announced Monday it will endorse Republican Linda Lingle to succeed retiring Democrat Daniel Akaka in the U.S. Senate.

"To have the endorsement of people who put their lives on the line every day has a lot of significance," Lingle said.

The vote from the police officer union's board of directors was unanimous.
