Say it Ain't So
Actually, we could see the City forcing this through in a rush as the one-thousand expected retirements start to stack up:
- Looks like the 65 retirement age is going to actually happen. It will be retroactive to December 2023. Any officer who retired will have the opportunity to return.
Of course, a 65-year-old in riot gear at the DNC is a whole boatload of medical issues just waiting to happen.
Anyone seen any information on this?

They'd already have happened.
Major psychiatric medical issues.
Huge.
The fight won’t be fair. Cops will be scare crows and protesters will not be intimidated. Anyone planning on working the DNC under current UOF restrictions deserve what they get. Hopefully the department has your back after the lawsuits and complaints start landing.
If you stay on this job til 65, you’re fucking crazy. Enjoy life and move out of this shithole.
Nice. I know one legend who will probably return.
I don’t think they will get anyone returning at 63. Political stunt.
Any Copper that returns to this putrid administration knowingly, deserves everything they receive.
Let the city burn during the DNC!
It all has to collapse, the cancer is too deep!
Sounds like a lawsuit for everyone who was forced to retire. 2 year plus payday
No thank you, goodbye tension, hello pension. Mayor beaver teeth's sphincter is already starting to tighten up, ha ha ha. To bad, so sad.
Who the hell would want to return to this job in this day and age and with what is going on now and what will be coming very soon.
Now I have a shot at getting two stars on my
sleeve.
"Any officer who retired will have the opportunity to return."
You'd have to be awfully bored.
Come back for what?
God I hope not, just retire and enjoy your life. Just what we need more non full duty people at a desk.
I'm so happy! Now I can achieve my goal of serving for 40 years!!!
Hell with the awful physical shape of the CPD a 50 year old in riot gear is a time bomb. By he way what makes you think you will be allowed to wear riot gear? Would not be the impression the Democrats want for their convention. You will without a doubt be to told to stand down and allow the protesters to act out. They do t want a repeat of the Daley crackdown in the park to make international headlines. So retire hit medical or whatever you have to do to avoid becoming a target for the barrage of flying projectiles coming your way. Your regular duty cap will not afford much protection.
Lol, 65 pushing a beat car. You must be crazy and stupid. Maybe this is the only thing they have in their life. But I'm sure there will be many broke mf's. I'm so glad i retired early in 44, i don't even carry my gun.
Cpd yes cfd no.
those who have no life outside of the job drop dead as soon as they are forced out
Remember Elrod in Summer Of ‘68.
I'll ride shotgun as back-up part-time for $100/hr
Wonder if they are interested in a 77 year old retiree who has no trail of “Medicare” claims since retiring in ‘97 ?
Guarantee I would be the first one falling off the bus in front of the Hilton Hotel.
Only wage slaves and psychos want to be the police past 63.
They have enough money for riot gear?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
1. Step 11 pay bump is also necessary.
2. It will require a power test every year after 63 to be eligible.
3. The officer can can work till 72.
4. 80% pension at 35 years of service to be on relative parity with city workers and state police.
It’s gonna happen in October because of all the State legislative lifts.
I’m ready to go back I’m 65 now though been retired for nine years, but I’m ready to go. How about making the age 70 bring us back bring back the old we’re ready to go back to teach these young whippersnappers how to be the police and if we are the police acting like we did back then we won’t serve a lot of time in jail because the hourglass has a lot more sand on the bottom. How much you gonna pay me Brandon we are ready to go let us know. Here is the team we’re putting it back together.

Seattle PD is having a huge manpower crisis.

Danny M. in 025 is happy!
I just purchased a walker that matches my BDU's.
Getting paid $129,000 a year to hide inside. What's not to like?
I’m pushing 60 but workout everyday. So I'm ready for the riots but I may need a nap midday, the. I’m good to go
65? That’s not going to do anything for manpower. Cops rarely stay until 63 unless they got on late. Hell, many don’t even stay until 55. I retired before 55. Just wasn’t worth the risk, being treated like shit, no support from the politicians and brass, cancelled days off, and forced residency. We moved far away and I got a different job that doesn’t have any of the above listed negatives.
I hope all eligible stay til 65, the pension fund can use it.

I can't help but read this to the tune of Lil Jon "Turn Down for What" lmfao!
The desperation and panic in BJ and his incompetent Administration is clearly visible for all to see. Even the media whores can't hide the brewing DNC shit show coming to Murder City. Their stupidity has no bounds, thinking PO's will stay or return to meet the age 65 initiative. The Democrats created this hot mess and now they can live with it and suffer the embarrassment of failure.
Screw that! I’m barely limping past the 20 year mark waiting to hit 55 in a few more years. Time to pop smoke and get away from this communist rat’s nest.
Young man’s game. Enjoy your retirement people. Don’t be a fool so the city can pay for migrants

Elrod and the A team...our only hope.
And yet, in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... the A-Team
Don’t pre planned events require the CPD to send officers by seniority? Those guys wouldn’t be sent
Gotta work since cops don't get Social Security or Medicare.
They don't pay into it with that job.
Since I retired, I have had a new hip, and shoulder surgery. I am ready to go! I feel great! Never mind the smell of Ben-gay or Icy Hot salve. You'll get used to it...
Can I keep my senority??? I would like to work second watch...
SCC>
Here’s the deal:
Taliaferro (chairman of police and fire committee) pushed it as a way to keep a few more people on the job until Medicare kicks in at 65. The thought is every little bit helps and if there’s a few dozen more people a year (most likely detectives working inside), then it’s not a big safety/health risk. It has to pass the full city council vote on Apr17.
CFD was included but politely said no thanks. Even tho most of their veterans stand back and watch the young guys chop holes in the roof and climb ladders while they bark orders at them, it’s still a far more physical job than being the police, so they stay 63.
How many coppers will stay another 2 years? Very little. And almost all of them will be supervisors in sweet spots, inside people and detectives.
You young lazy cops are just mad because all these old people are gonna come back and be house mouses and you'll wind up back on the street (where the younger cops belong).
“Danny M. in 025 is happy!”
I Am Legend !
I’d rather be face down, dead in the city morgue with two creeps taking turns on my butthole on the clock, than support the DNC.
65 year olds in riot gear for 12-16 hours in 90 degree heat at the DNC, As Colonel Troutman said in Rambo “you need a good supply of body bags.” Sad but true.
With 3% cola, if you stay past 20 you are an idiot.
If the pension payments already started, this is pretty much impossible. There is no, "Oh, you know what I changed my mind, stop my pension".
Doesn't the Constitution even have a line that says "shall not be diminished or impaired"?
Ha Ha...come back work a few and hit medical for a few years...
Fuck you Pay ME !
Sad if guys do. Go do something else and enjoy your life.
If you stay on this job til 65, you’re fucking crazy. Enjoy life and move out of this shithole.
4/04/2024 12:27:00 AM
I left at 50. Fuck this job, city, and state.
Come back. Go IOS for a year and when that runs out hit the medical. Two years.
Swiderek just pulled his papers! He s back baby!!
There will be morons that actually come back.....there is a life after this goofy job, some just don't get it...retired a year ago at 50 amd 26 years. NEVER looked back.
Paravola.....
"...we won’t serve a lot of time in jail because the hourglass has a lot more sand on the bottom."
With every passing day, a sentence of 'life in prison' becomes less of a deterrent.
If you are still on the job after 55, you are a complete moron.

Still holding out for 80% pension and all the blunt I can smoke!
Think Leo will come back???
I'd rather shit in my hand and clap after looking up my ass with a mirror

I am ready to go back, pay us $150K a year, guarantee us lifetime medical for us and spouse we will kick ass and take names(Sarcasm)!
Can't keep anyone past 55 now. Why would they think anyone would stay till 65??
Ha… don’t be so sure. A couple guys I know who are 10-15 years older that me who I’ve seen forced out on this job I wouldn’t mess with on my best day. Some bad men I’ve seen forced out. Others look like they needed to go and were 80 years old.. I joke! But 65 these days is like 55 25 years ago.
Being the police is a young man's game,I am retired and got out at 60 there was no way I could fight these street rats day to day. I wanted to go home and retired with my pension, best thing I ever did. As you get older you lose your stamina is it worth it?
If you are still on the job after 55, you are a complete moron.
Some came on in their late thirties
I have the absolute best retirement job. I pick up my grand kids from school and watch them for a couple of hours until their parents come home from work.

You would not be pushing a Beat Car at 65. You would have to retire when you turn 65.
Damn I’d only be able to do 39yrs. No being a member of the elite two star brigade for me….

Hey brain dead 3% Cola non-compounded on a 20 year pension is peanuts.

Sounds like a lawsuit for everyone who was forced to retire. 2 year plus payday
4/04/2024 01:51:00 AM
Why would this be a lawsuit? The ordinance was mandatory at 63. Now they’ve changed it. The city fulfilled their terms while you were working.
Glad I’m leaving at 50, you can take this job and shove it.
Do I have to re-establish residency, or can I commute from my new home in a red state? I'm only 61 and in great shape. My waist is smaller than Pritzker's thigh.
If the City really wanted to bolster manpower they could expedite the rehiring of returning officers. Or rehire the COVID cops.Without prejudice.
Don't see may, if any, retirees lining up to rejoin the circus.
How long would this gig last? If the coppers moved out of the city would there be a waiver for residency? Probably not.
With 3% cola, if you stay past 20 you are an idiot.
Don’t think so. First you would only be getting 50% of the average of your 15 year seniority pay. Your last 4 average would be at the
15 year because you don’t get 20 year raise until you complete 20 years. Worse if there is a tier 2 because it would be 8 years. 3 of which would be at the 10 year rate. That cuts your retirement pay drastically and makes the 3 % COLA pretty small and it stays the same each year. It’s not compounded and in time the active guys are getting yearly pay raises so for some of us idiots it pays to stay past 20. Insurance is another thing

COLA doesn't kick in until 55 anyway
I remember when there were many 2 star people
Pffft...that's their DNC plan? {snicker} How about we ask suburban departments for volunteers and pay them the CPD-rate while they work here for 7 days? These suburban officers don't have to answer calls but could be used as security to watch the parking lots at the district stations, academies (and if any are left downtown hotels). I really don't want to stand for 12 hours on Ashland & Ogden only to return to find my $60,000 Jeep burned-out with a broken windshield in the district lot.
The old desk guy (M.R.) in 011 is elated and hoping they make it 67.
Retire already Milt!
Some would STAY on until 65...they are the HOUSE MICE P.O.'s, Sgt's and Lt's that sit around HQ all day and in the districts doing absolutely nothing!!! Except for on line computer gaming, on line shopping, doing your nails, gossiping and figuring out your next vacations spot. I can count at least 8 people in my district alone between caps, the front office and the sdsc room in which do nothing.
After retirement get a part time job at home depot. Youll get treated much better.
First Dep. Townsend did 44 years
I'm 38 and dread going into work everyday

This awesomeness has to be identified.
This age 72 and 80% pension would solve the pension dilemma,
Less people retiring and paying into the pension for a longer period of time.
The new rep that we elect needs to bring this home.

Lol. I'm already at 29 in less than 2 mo ths. I'm not staying another 19 years to male 72 years for for a measly 5%, but I would stay for 34 years and a day for 80%. Otherwise, pound sand city.
34+a day for 80%. I’m in.
Why not ?
