The First Responder Retention Efforts Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the Metropolitan Police Department's Senior Officer Program by extending eligibility to Metropolitan Police Department Lieutenants. The bill amends the Retired Police Officer Redeployment Amendment Act of 1992 to specify that retired police officers rehired as senior police officers or senior police lieutenants will receive salaries capped at the equivalent of a Class 1, Step 5 Officer and a Class 5, Step 3 Lieutenant, respectively, without eligibility for longevity pay.

Additionally, the bill proposes an emergency amendment to the Policemen and Firemen's Retirement and Disability Act, removing the mandatory retirement age for members of the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and Emergency Medical Services. This change is intended to retain experienced personnel within these departments. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will expire after 225 days.
