This new law changes the rules for when U.S. Capitol Police officers are required to retire. It allows these officers to stay on the force longer by raising the age limit that previously forced them to stop working.
The change specifically helps the U.S. Capitol Police keep their most experienced officers on the job. By allowing veterans to work longer, the department can better manage its staff and keep people with years of training in the field.
This move comes as many law enforcement agencies across the country face challenges with finding enough new officers. Keeping current officers for a few extra years helps ensure the U.S. Capitol remains secure without needing to rush the hiring process.
