Accrual of 13 days of paid vacation for each of the first three years of service; 20 days for each of years three through fifteen; and 26 days for each of years fifteen and higher.
11 paid national holidays per year.

Miscellaneous

Maximum Entry Age for Law Enforcement Retirement Coverage

There is no “maximum entry age” for this position. However, to be included under federal law enforcement officer retirement provisions, an individual would have to meet “maximum entry age” provisions as follows: First time appointees to positions covered under law enforcement officer retirement provisions must not have reached their 37th birthday at the time of appointment. For an applicant with previous law enforcement officer (“LEO”) experience under the Civil Service Retirement System(“CSRS”) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (“FERS”) and who has a subsequent break in service or intervening service in a non-law enforcement officer position, the maximum entry age is increased by adding the number of years of previous law enforcement experience to 37. As an example, for a candidate with five years of creditable previous law enforcement experience, the maximum entry age would be 42. To qualify for coverage under the law enforcement provision of the federal retirement system, there are mandatory retirement requirements that apply.
