Should have happened two years ago. Now the question is, when will San Bruno follow suit?

So what will happen to the officers who have less than the minimum retirement years? Unemployed?

For TimFromLA; For those officers (probably most) on Millbrae PD wh have not worked long enough to retire; First, the Sheriff's Office has agreed to hire them, so they will have a full-time job, BUT-The Sheriff's Office operates on a different retirement plan. So, (secondly) once they are "converted" to Deputies, they can take their money from the Millbrae retirement funding (paid into PERS-Public Employees Retirement System) or just leave it there until they reach the minimum age of 50 to draw on it. Then they will begin accumulating time under the County retirement system.

Shit rolls downhill. The state now leaves many finances up to the counties and cities. read The Boomerang...1st Iceland, Ireland, Greece, Spain, read about California, Vallejo, etc. When salaries and benefits become 50% of a cities expenses, guess what? They declare bankruptcy. You can spend and promise more than you receive in taxes. Wake up you guys. Ask your city finance officer for complete profit statements, find out where your county or city is in regards to its finances! real www.whenlawmenlie too!
