This comes up every year and never makes it out of committee. We drive marked police cars, wear uniforms, and carry firearms. We also routinely make arrests, and after 9/11 were mandated 13 hour days 7 days a week because we are a small agency. Police officers are police officers, why do the US Capitol Police make 2x what we do and have the LEO retirement when we do the same job with far fewer people per capita? The amount we spend every year to replace the officers who have left for LEO positions would more than pay the salary and retirement difference, and we would not be 34% short. -

It's unreasonable to expect aging veteran police officers to work 35-40 years in a field where stress and physical requirements are critical elements of the job. Help us retire at a decent age, with decent health. Let's move 0083's to where they should have always been - LEO's.REPORT COMMENTS

I wear a bullet proof vest, I carry a gun, I have to respond to any situation that arises ready to give my life to protect the innocent, I wear a badge that says Police Officer, my job series is 0083 Police Officer, yet I do not have a retirement system equal to other Federal LEO'S. This is wrong.REPORT COMMENTS

Why do members of congress, lawyers, cooks and fire fighters get LEO pay but VA police officers who actually meet the criteria do not receive this benefit. PASS THE BILL.REPORT COMMENTS

Support all officers! These agencies not covered suffer from severe retention issues costing the government more in recruiting efforts. More importantly, they risk themselves just as much as the covered agencies!REPORT COMMENTS
