The First Responder Retention Efforts Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the Metropolitan Police Department's Senior Officer Program by extending eligibility to Metropolitan Police Department Lieutenants. This amendment modifies the Retired Police Officer Redeployment Amendment Act of 1992, specifically allowing retired police officers who are rehired as senior police lieutenants to receive a salary equivalent to that of a Class 5, Step 3 lieutenant, while also stipulating that they will not be eligible for longevity pay.

Additionally, the bill amends the Policemen and Firemen's Retirement and Disability Act by removing the mandatory retirement age for members of the Metropolitan Police Department and Fire and Emergency Medical Services. This change is intended to provide greater flexibility and retention of experienced personnel within these departments. The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days.
