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 President Patrick Yoes sits down with Representative Bill Pascrell who currently represents New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District.
