Reply to comment by Data-Hungry in US Customs officer retirements pose another challenge for cross-border trucking. More than 9,800 officers will be eligible to retire in 2028. by r_sharon

How come there’s a 20 year limit and law enforcement officers and why did these guys just get that status in 2008?

Major retention problems back in the day they were non LEO and at one point only maybe gs9. Around 2008-2009 became GS12 and Leo. After creation of DHS and riding 9/11 coat tails GW Bush got them the LEO status.. Rumors of gs13 have been swirling for years..
