Seattle, WA – The Council of Metropolitan Police and Sheriffs (COMPAS) today announced their endorsement of former federal prosecutor and candidate for Attorney General, Reagan Dunn.

“I am so pleased to have the endorsement of such a great organization,” said Dunn.  “COMPAS is especially important to me because it is made up of line officer and management guilds. It really is one of the most important law enforcement endorsements in Washington State.”

"We are proud to endorse Reagan Dunn for Washington State Attorney General," said Seattle Police Detective and COMPAS President Ron Smith. "We have seen Reagan's commitment to law enforcement firsthand. We especially appreciated his tireless work to ensure passage of the Lakewood Memorial Act.”  Voters approved the Constitutional Amendment with 85% of the vote in 2010. "We look forward to working with Reagan in his capacity as the top law enforcement officer in Washington State," stated Smith.

COMPAS is a non-partisan advocacy organization that represents over 2000 currently-commissioned law enforcement officers in the largest law enforcement unions in Washington State. It currently represents the Seattle Police Officers' Guild, the King County Police Officers' Guild, the Seattle Police Management Association and the Puget Sound Police Management Association. Because Washington State's largest law enforcement agencies have special legislative interests, COMPAS represents their members' interests year-round to ensure that their rights and interests are protected.

Reagan Dunn has previously been endorsed by current Attorney General Rob McKenna, former Attorney General Ken Eikenberry, 34 Sheriffs and Prosecutors around the state as well as a number of public sector unions and guilds.
