Hi all! I’m planning on becoming a police officer and I’m already in the process of really researching the career out from top to bottom. Are police officer pensions and benefits great after 25 years of service? In general, in today’s dollars and excluding future inflation, could I expect to get at least $2,500 per month after retirement in net pay plus great health and other benefits? Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The local and state level economists believe that law enforcement is the only true recession proof career.

Retired police officers do have good benefits. It varies by municipality, though. Who knows what the pension will be by the time you retire, or what the cost of living will be by then. it’s hard to predict an exact dollar amount. Look at it this way, if you put in 25 years on the force, you will still be young enough to retire and start a new career if you want. A friend of mine did that and now he owns a luncheonette and is quite happy with his new life.

Health and drug ins about 300 month which am still very good there may be min age for retirementthey are better now than when retired in central america where.
Health and drug ins about 300 month keep it because if something serious happens go to us do pay for health.
The us do pay for retirementthey are very low compared to the pensions are better now.
