Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act of 2025

This bill expands eligibility for death and disability benefits under the public safety officers' death benefits program to include retired law enforcement officers who die or become permanently disabled from targeted attacks directly related to their past service. It specifically covers officers who retired in good standing from public agencies, including those who served without compensation. The policy change applies retroactively to cases occurring since August 28, 2012, and amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. This provides financial support to retired officers and their families affected by violence targeting their law enforcement careers.
