A first for the Met

Funny how Government had no problem with police pensions when there was a surplus & it was apparently being used to cover other costs rather than being invested.

And where are all these posts that you can move police officers to? I think you'll find most of them have been civilianised at a cheaper rate in order to save costs.

And in some cases, because of age. Sacked, made to take retirement, finished, however you dress it up.
Some (police) can afford to finish at early fifties, some cannot, some do finish and some don't. That is ther prerogative but to finish someone when they reach fifty odd stinks. If that happend in most other industries there would be hell on. When I listen to the crap my daughter has to take every night, ( as a bobbette) They deserve every penny.
However to finish on a nice fat pension, then get another job a year or two later tells me there is summat that is not quite right.
