When I leave the military I will have a degree in Search and Rescue, a second degree in Criminal Justice (Law Enforcement) and 20 years of leadership and management experience. However, current age limits restrict my ability to continue serving my country in a new profession. Passing this law would allow me to continue serving in a profession I have chosen rather than settling for what I can get.... 36842@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Wed, 11 Jun 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1258.html#35734 To comply with the 911 commission and recruit enough Agents to fight terrorism this bill would increase the number of qualified applicants. I am a Marine Corps Veteran and a Police Officer with 16 yrs experience, but I just turned 37 and am no longer eligible. I would like to join the fight on terrorism please pass this bill and allow me to assist in protecting America... 35734@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 27 May 2008 00:00:00 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_1258.html#25335 To increase the number of agents to be more vigilinat against terrorist activities, I personally feel the age limit should be raised to atleast 40 with a mandatory retirement at the age of 60. later in the individuals career they will more than likely be in a management position to pass along knowledge and training to younger agents. I vote for the change........ 25335@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Mon, 24 Dec 2007 00:00:00 EST http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/history/110_HR_1258.html?rev=1558 <p>H.R. 1258 would amend title 5, United States Code, to increase the maximum age limit for an original appointment to a position as a Federal law enforcement officer in the case of any individual who has been discharged or released from active duty in the armed forces under honorable conditions.</p> <h2 id="toc0"> Detailed Summary </h2> <p>Sets a maximum age limit of 40 years for an original appointment to a position as a federal law enforcement officer in the case of individuals who have been discharged or released from active duty in the armed forces under honorable conditions.
