Comments:
Will DoD NSPS create a Law Enforcement Career Group? This group is vital to ensuring qualified people are recruited, retained, and appropriately compensated for the physically rigorous and dangerous mission they perform each day. If NSPS intends to create a Law Enforcement Career Group, how will the implementation and transition of members currently holding secondary law enforcement positions? How will current law enforcement officers filling secondary supervisory positions not eligible for the Federal Law Enforcement Retirement (FLER) system be combined into one group? Will there be a difference between law enforcement officers who currently have the required three year primary time and eligible for FLER and those law enforcement officers currently on staff who were hired directly into a secondary supervisory position without the eligibility requirement of three years primary time? Will pay be impacted by this differentiation or will all law enforcement officers currently on staff be granted the same status? Reference: Classification Structure § 9901.211 Career groups. For the purpose of classifying positions, DoD may establish career groups based on factors such as mission or function; nature of work; qualifications or competencies; career or pay progression patterns; relevant labor market features; and other characteristics of those occupations or oppositions. DoD will document in implementing issuances the criteria and rationale for grouping occupations or positions into career groups. Special Agent David E.
