What this bill would do
The POST Act of 2025 directs the Director of the Federal Protective Service to improve the oversight and accountability of contract security personnel. The bill requires the establishment of new processes for collecting and analyzing data from covert testing to improve security performance. It also mandates that security contractors implement corrective training for personnel who fail these tests. Additionally, the Director must evaluate and potentially modernize the personnel tracking system used to manage security deployment. The bill aims to ensure better communication with building tenants regarding security coverage gaps. Finally, it requires regular reports to Congress regarding these implementation efforts.
