The guy I mentioned was a firefighter for just about a year, so wouldn't have a retirement from that gig. However, another good plan is for a cop to achieve command rank, say captain, retire as soon as eligible, then go to another state and become chief of a smaller dept. Set up for two pensions, nice double dip. I've known a few who have done that.
They say you can't get rich being in the police or fire service, but the opportunity is there for somebody who is smart and ambitious.
There's a retired NYC firefighter who shoots at our range. He sure has some nice toys, but he talks funny.
