Actually he probably wont get a pension or benefits. I googled his name, looks like he was in recruiting, other articles say he has 11 years on the department and is 39 years old. He’s not vested in the pension system. Most pensions require he be 50 years old with at least ten years on, or 20 years on if he’s under 50. If he was retirement eligible right now, you’d see him retire today, they can’t take the pension from a retiree for conduct but they certainly can take it from someone still on the job and they do it all the time. The first clue is the paid admin leave, if he was retirement eligible, he would have already done it.

The exception is that after ten years, some pensions systems allow a deferred retirement because they are social security ineligible. After 10 years on, they can get this. It equates to 2% per year of service but doen’t kick in until they are ss eligible at 62. So lets say he makes 7k a month, he get’s 22% of that starting 23 years from now. And likely no medical. That’s not adjusted for inflation until the payment begins, then it goes up with inflation each year. So in the year 2033 he will get $1400 a month, if he goes that route, likly they will block him. Even so, in 2033, $1400 might be what a car payment is, it also might be his cable bill. I know a guy who did something similar, but he wasn’t accused of anything just had a better opportunity and left after about 12 years as a cop, that was 25-30 years ago. He gets about $200 a month right now.
