U.S. Park Police Modernization Act

HR 9928, the U.S. Park Police Modernization Act, adjusts salary structures for U.S. Park Police officers by updating pay scales and step progression timelines. It sets specific pay rates for each rank (from Private to Chief) relative to Executive Schedule level V, with Private positions capped at 95% of that rate and higher ranks at full Executive Schedule level V. The bill modifies step progression times (e.g., 52 weeks between steps for lower ranks) and clarifies that prior salary adjustments before January 3, 2021, are disregarded. This bill directly affects all U.S. Park Police officers by standardizing their compensation structure under the District of Columbia Police and Firemen’s Salary Act. It is a procedural salary adjustment, not a substantive policy change.
