In a notable win for Donald Trump, the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) has taken a bold step in supporting those who put their lives on the line for our safety by endorsing the president’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”

The act proposes to eliminate taxes on overtime earnings for public safety officers, offering them much-needed financial relief.
The FOP, the largest police union in the United States, represents over 377,000 members.
Its endorsement of President Trump’s legislative proposal is a testament to the support law enforcement officers have for the former Commander-in-Chief.
President Trump and House Speaker Michael Johnson played crucial roles in the bill’s narrow passage through the House, asserting their commitment to those who serve local communities.
Patrick Yoes, FOP National President, praised the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” for what it represents to men and women in blue.
He highlighted the elimination of taxes on overtime earnings as a crucial benefit for underpaid officers working long hours.
Yoes emphasized that the current SALT cap unfairly penalizes officers who must reside close to their jurisdictions to ensure quick response times.
“The ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ is more than legislation—it is a promise kept to the public safety officers across the country and a bold step toward an economy that respects, rewards, and uplifts the people who keep it safe,” Yoes stated.
The bill’s provisions wait for the Senate’s nod, including a tax deduction for those earning up to $160,000 and an increase in SALT deductions for taxpayers making under $500,000.
While the proposal aims to aid law enforcement officers, some see this move as a potential incentive for high-tax policies in blue states.
Yet, the real people benefiting are officers working tirelessly to protect American cities.
Concerns have arisen over the deficit implications, with some Republicans elevating fears of an increased $385 billion in national debt.
Despite these concerns, the act promises a brighter financial outlook for officers struggling under current tax burdens.
The endorsement from FOP is significant, reflecting growing frustration among law enforcement over financial constraints.
Advocates argue that, as public safety officers continue to face financial challenges, prioritizing their welfare through this bill is not only practical but essential for their morale and efficiency in their duties.
Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill Act” is seen by many as not just a piece of legislation but a much-needed promise to uphold the quality of life for officers while maintaining the safety and security of communities nationwide.
As the bill heads to the Senate, law enforcement advocates continue to hope that this historic opportunity won’t be squandered by those who fail to recognize America’s real heroes.
