That's all I think about. Getting more years out than I put in 

He will have seen some sights working in London all those years. Slipper was another famous detective. The one that caught up with Biggs.

Do you think he got 40 + Years of pension?

I get the impression that he was very “correct”......you can’t do anything with people who are correct, a real pain in the arse ! Lol

I am not sure as there were changes to the Pension Agreement several times. If he was on the same scheme that I was on he would have retired aged  50 to 55, possibly a few years later if he was a senior officer and stayed on. But I don't know what the schemes were based on for bobbies starting in the 50's and 60's.

When I left in 2011 I had almost done 25 years, but the final date for my service was based on the 55 year old age limit. So I retired at midnight as I became 55. The police woman I worked with was 33 and had already done 12 years, yet she still had to do more years than I had worked because the pension scheme she was on meant that she had to work into her 60's. It is a ticking time bomb that is going to cause major problems in future years. You can't expect 60 year olds to be rolling about fighting yobs and criminals and because of the civilianization of many departments there is nowhere else to work but the response teams.

If he was 'correct' in the days that he worked in the Met' he would have been amongst a very small elite. Most were more bent than the criminals.

It's no different than scaffolders and a million other jobs that the tax payer doesn't have to fork out final salary pensions for for forty years after they've packed up.

Infact it is different it's much much easier

I agree about the raising of retirement age for manual workers. It is short sighted and ultimately costly to the public purse. But if you want to pick a fight over the public service pensions that include the armed forces, civil servants and other employees then blame the Governments that you voted for. They brought in the schemes and anyone could apply for a job with a final salary pension. But, don't forget that there is a compulsory levy of 11% of every police officer's wages to contribute towards the pension and the wages don't compare to many other industries. They had to make the pensions good to attract applicants as the wages were pi$$ poor.
