They received law enforcement status in 2008. Which mandates retirement at 20 years and so all the officers who started 2008 and before will leave all at once. He's they do hire constantly but the predicted wave will be hard to overcome considering it's a huge just just to maintain the current turn over

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..
