Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

Key Points

• The Federal Protective Service must create new rules to track how well contract security guards are protecting federal buildings. This includes using secret tests where officials try to bypass security to see if guards catch them and identify any weak spots in building safety.
• Security companies will be required to provide specific retraining for any guard who fails a performance test. The government will also review these training plans to make sure they actually fix the problems found during testing and address new security threats.
• The agency must evaluate its current system for tracking guard shifts and decide whether to replace it with a more reliable platform. This is intended to prevent security gaps caused by guards being absent or missing from their assigned posts.
• Federal agencies that work in these buildings will receive better updates when there are security shortages or coverage gaps. This ensures that people working in federal offices are informed if their building's security is not at full strength.
• The Director of the Federal Protective Service is required to report to Congress every year on how these changes are working and if more laws are needed to keep federal buildings and the people inside them safe.
