Fox News
A bipartisan bill in the Senate, shared first with Fox News Digital, would allow for families of fallen retired police officers to receive benefits.
The legislation is named after Chief Herbert D. Proffitt, a retired officer who was shot and killed in his driveway by someone he had arrested decades prior. Aubrie Spady is a Writer for Fox News Digital.
Despite serving in law enforcement for 55 years, Proffitt's family members were denied benefits since he had retired prior to the attack.
