Legislation Would Increase Number Of FPS Officers, Improve Security At Federal Facilities

Two bills that would extend law enforcement retirement coverage to Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers and make other needed improvements to the security at federal facilities have been introduced by Rep. André Carson (Ind.). 

FPS officers are sworn law enforcement officers who protect federal workers and visitors at 9,000 federal facilities nationwide, yet they do not receive the law enforcement retirement benefits provided to all other law enforcement agents within the Department of Homeland Security.
