Lawmakers Push To Raise Police Retirement Age
1 week ago
Lawmakers are advancing legislation to raise the retirement age for U.S. Capitol Police officers as the department continues to deal with staffing shortages and increasing security concerns.
A bill passed unanimously by the Senate would allow officers to apply to remain on the force until age 62, while separate legislation approved by the House earlier this year would raise the limit to age 65.
Officials say the proposed changes could help improve recruitment and retention across the Capitol Police force.
