前印第安纳波利斯警工会主席斯奈德竞选全国副主席
印第安纳州马里恩县印第安纳波利斯市消息：前印第安纳波利斯市警察兄弟会主席里克·斯奈德11月6日宣布，他将竞选美国警察兄弟会全国副主席一职。美国警察兄弟会是代表全美38万多名执法人员的工会组织。
斯奈德从警约30年，于10月30日卸任印第安纳波利斯分会主席，此前连任12年，是该分会历史上任职时间最长的主席。斯奈德表示，现任全国主席帕特里克·约斯与现任全国副主席乔·加马尔迪等执行董事会成员支持他的参选，加马尔迪本人也表态支持斯奈德接替副主席一职。
印第安纳波利斯地区警察已于11月5日选举鲍比·弗格森接替斯奈德出任分会主席。斯奈德此次竞选全国副主席，将把印第安纳波利斯地方警工会的经验带入全国层面，选举结果有待该工会后续公布。
Former Indianapolis FOP President Rick Snyder to Run for National Union Vice President
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Rick Snyder, former president of the Indianapolis Fraternal Order of Police, announced on November 6 that he will run for national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, the union representing more than 380,000 law enforcement officers across the United States.
Snyder, a police officer for about 30 years, stepped down as president of the Indianapolis lodge on October 30 after 12 consecutive years in the post, the longest tenure in the lodge's history. He said current national president Patrick Yoes and current national vice president Joe Gamaldi are among the executive board members backing his bid, and Gamaldi himself has voiced support for Snyder succeeding him as vice president.
Indianapolis-area officers elected Bobby Ferguson on November 5 to succeed Snyder as lodge president. Snyder's run for national vice president would carry his Indianapolis lodge experience to the national level; the union will announce the election outcome in due course.
