S 9274 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to the treatment of prior service with certain agencies by the New York city police pension fund

This bill allows New York City police officers to count certain prior work as creditable service toward their pension benefits. Specifically, it includes service as a school safety agent, corrections officer, traffic enforcement agent, or in the police cadet program (if immediately preceding active police duty) as if it were direct police service. To qualify, officers must pay the required contributions plus 5% interest into the New York City Police Pension Fund. This change directly affects current members of the fund who have worked in these specific city roles before joining the police force.
