Reintroduce the H.R, 327. This legislation would expand the definition of "law enforcement officer" for salary and retirement benefits to include all Federal law enforcement officers. It would also save taxpayers' money and enhance public safety and national security.
Due to their high level of training and the dangerous nature of the profession, Congress rightfully determined that Federal law enforcement officers should receive enhanced salary and retirement benefits compared to other Federal employees. However, law enforcement officers classified as GS-0083 police officers were not initially covered.
These dedicated men and women put their lives on the line as law enforcement officers for different agencies and need to be treated equally.
