Walking the Walk with Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr.

Federal law enforcement officers play a critical role in making sure our nation’s infrastructure, government facilities, and institutions remain safe. As a result, they deserve a fair and secure retirement. Unfortunately, nearly 30,000 Federal law enforcement officers do not receive the same retirement benefits as their other Federal law enforcement colleagues. On this episode of the Blue View Podcast, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Representative Bill Pascrell who currently represents New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District. In the 117th Congress, Representative Pascrell was the lead sponsor of the Law Enforcement Officers’ Equity Act. The bill, which had over 100 cosponsors at the end of last Congress, is a top priority of the FOP. 00:00 – Intro 00:07 – About Bill Pascrell 10:26 – The 117th Congress 17:37 – Law Enforcement Officers’ Equity Act 23:43 – The WEP and GPO 29:14 – Congressional Law Enforcement Caucus 33:43 – Final Thoughts ➖➖➖ We Are the #𝟏 Voice of America’s Law Enforcement Officers.
