The Blue View: Alliance for Prosperity and a Secure Retirement
Episode #85 | 13 Jan 2026
Today on The Blue View, we’re joined by leaders from the Alliance for Prosperity and Secure Retirement (APSR)—a national coalition dedicated to protecting retirement security and keeping politics out of public pension investments.
Our guests include Tim Hill, APSR President, retired Phoenix firefighter, and longtime advocate for pension integrity, and O’Brien Atkinson, Anne Arundel County Police Corporal, President of his local Fraternal Order of Police, and APSR Board Member.
Together, we discuss:
• Why public employee pensions are increasingly under political pressure
• The importance of fiduciary duty and pension board independence
• How political agendas threaten long-term retirement stability
• Why police, firefighters, and public employees must have a voice in pension governance
• How coalitions strengthen pension protection efforts nationwide
Hosted by Patrick Yoes, National President of the Fraternal Order of Police, this conversation is essential viewing for anyone counting on a secure and dignified retirement after public service.
Law enforcement officers have one of the toughest and most dangerous jobs in the United States. The brave men and women of law enforcement are charged with the enormous responsibility of keeping our streets and neighborhoods safe.
Be sure to tune in to Blue View, a weekly podcast presented by the National Fraternal Order of Police, to hear from law enforcement experts, elected officials, and other notable leaders to gain insight into the issues and current events surrounding the law enforcement community. Each episode will leave you with a better understanding of what law enforcement officers face daily. Together, we can rebuild the trust between police officers and the communities they serve.
