Support H.R. 1551/S.167, the “Protect and Serve Act”
The FOP strongly supports legislation that would create a new Federal offense for those who deliberately target law enforcement officers with violence. This bill is a direct response to the increased number of law enforcement officers who have been targeted for attack.
Support H.R. 1505/S.636, the “Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act”
The FOP strongly supports legislation to guarantee the right of public safety employees to bargain collectively with their employers over hours, wages and conditions of employment. Such legislation should mandate that State laws provide minimum collective bargaining rights to their public safety employees while prohibiting strikes and lockouts. States with collective bargaining laws already on the books would be exempt from the Federal statute.
Support H.R 3226, the “Law Enforcement Officers’ Equity Act”
The FOP strongly supports legislation expanding the definition of “law enforcement officer” for salary and retirement benefits to include all Federal law enforcement officers.
