Personnel Oversight and Shift Tracking Act of 2025

This bill aims to make security at federal buildings safer and more reliable. It tells the Federal Protective Service (FPS) to set up better ways to test and track the work of contract security guards, including regular reviews of covert (secret) test results, required retraining after failures, and updated training to address new threats. FPS must report how this is going to Congress once the steps are in place and then every year .

The bill also makes FPS review and possibly replace its system for tracking guard shifts and coverage within 180 days. FPS must create a plan with a timeline and make sure building tenants get quick, accurate notices when there are guard shortages or gaps in coverage, and report on this each year for three years. The bill does not turn contract guards into federal employees.

• Who is affected: Contract security personnel at federal buildings run by the GSA Public Buildings Service; FPS; people who work in or visit these buildings.
• What changes: Standards to collect and analyze covert testing data; quarterly reviews; mandatory corrective training after failed tests; updated training guidance; evaluation/upgrade of the guard tracking system; clear notices to tenants about coverage gaps; yearly progress reports .
• When: Within 1 year for testing and training steps; within 180 days to assess the tracking system; initial report after implementation, then annual reports (and for the tracking system, annual reports for three years) .
