right of law enforcement and other public safety officers to bargain collectively
with their employers.

enforcement officer with an assault that results in serious bodily harm or death.
the "LEOSA Reform Act" would amend the Law Enforcement Officers' Safety Act
(LEOSA) to close certain loopholes and ensure that active and retired law
enforcement officers are in compliance with all Federal, State and local laws.
