— CALL TO ACTION — 

Tell Congress to pass H.R. 1322
The "Law Enforcement Officers' Equity Act"

The FOP continues to fight for retirement fairness for all of our Federal law enforcement officers by supporting H.R. 1322, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Equity Act.” This bill would expand the definition of “law enforcement officers (LEO)” for retirement benefits to include all Federal law enforcement officers. If this bill is to have a chance at being considered, it is vital that we increase the number of cosponsors on this measure.

In addition to granting these law enforcement officers the retirement benefits they deserve, the legislation will also save taxpayers money. The increased cost would be more than offset by the savings in training, because recruitment and retention are problems Federal law enforcement agencies face today. This is especially true for agencies whose officers do not have LEO status.

The FOP has been waging a very targeted lobbying campaign by going after Members of Congress one at a time by building support and educating staff. Our success, however, comes down to YOU! Please get in touch with each of your Members of Congress and ask them to support the Law Enforcement Officers' Equity Act!
