IF you are a junior police officer approaching 45 years of age and joined the Old Pension Scheme or, if you joined the New Pension Scheme and are approaching the age of 50, you may be starting to think about whether you will continue working up to the regular retirement age of 55 or whether you will retire prematurely and apply for re-employment on agreement terms.

changes in the conditions of service after being re-employed, you can attend the Premature
retirement and re-employment seminar organised by the Conditions of Service Group 2 of

following issues:
Seminars will be held on 19 October, 26 October, 7 December and 14 December (all Mondays), from 6pm to 8:30pm in the conference room at the Police Sports and Recreation Club, Boundary Street.
