How long have you been on the job.

No man is above the law and no man is below it. Nor do we ask any mans permission when we require him to obey it.

Well, right around 23 years now.

I believe that Frank Rizzo was elected Mayor in 1971? That would give you around 30 years.
October 1, 1974. Could have retired last year. Our retirement system just added a new financially tempting wrinkle which is making me hang around until July 1, 2003.

but, it's REAL NICE to know you can go if you have to!!

I think this is called "PLOP" It's an offer to take up to 36 months of basic benefits as a lump sum payment and still be able to retire with at least 25 years service credit. 24 months would be a new Harley, but the wife says "NO WAY!!" Maybe a REALLY NICE custom 1911...?

I am grandfathered here in Texas, that means I was an officer before the Commission on Law Enforcement was created, I think that was in 1969 or 1970, I dont remember for sure.
KN me too, I am also grandfathered as a LEO, even though I did attend a state certified academy. I became a cop before minimum standards was adopted in my state which was about 1970 or so. I have almost 27 years in the state police retirement system at present. I got out of law enforcement for a while and was going to get rich. Yea sure, and I did ok, but once a cop always a cop, so I came back to my first love. I plan on bailing out in 2004 and running for a city council seat in my city. I think that will be the perfect cap for a career, to go from being a cop to a politician.

Five years on the job in Dec 2001.

------------------
I entered police service in June 1972 and retired in July 1999 for a total of 27 years. When I started the JOB it was fun and when I retired it had ceased to be fun. All and All I would do it again. Police service is not for everyone but it is satisfing.
