What it does
The Chief Herbert D. Proffitt Act of 2025 would amend the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to extend public safety officers’ death benefits to certain retired law enforcement officers who die or become permanently and totally disabled due to a targeted attack related to their prior service. It defines a retired law enforcement officer as someone who separated from service in good standing at a public agency, with or without compensation. The amendments would take effect upon enactment and apply retroactively to eligible incidents occurring on or after August 28, 2012, including pending or future claims.
