HR 10486 United States House · 118th Congress

Retired Law Enforcement Officers Continuing Service Act

This bill creates a federal grant program allowing state, local, Tribal, and territorial law enforcement agencies to hire retired officers for specific civilian tasks like crime scene analysis, digital evidence review, and financial crime investigations - excluding any duties requiring sworn authority. Agencies must verify retirees have relevant skills or training, conduct background checks using federal databases, and comply with strict accountability measures. Grants require annual audits to prevent misuse, with agencies having unresolved audit findings barred from funding for two years. The program aims to leverage retired officers' expertise while adding safeguards for public funds.
