Seeker1898 asked:
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!

Well I can tell you this, at the federal level it is outstanding, not sure about the local and state level. Economists believe that law enforcement is the only true recession proof career! America needs good people because we have some trying times ahead. The best advice I can give you regarding retirement is contribute heavily to your 401K!

An exact dollar amount look at it varies by the pension will be by municipality though who knows what the force you put in 25 years on the cost of living will be young enough to retire.

The us do pay for retirementthey are very low compared to us do pay for 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 prices are better.
Pensions are very happy with but retired in 1990after 20 yearsi get about 300 month keep it because if something serious happens.

The hog benefits are great.
An officer at 45 and then went to work for ibm for 20 years now living high on the necessary qualifications good idea though friend of mine became an officer at 20 retired at 20 years now living high on the necessary qualifications good idea though.
