Philadelphia Retirement Policy
Philadelphia, Pa., has a new retirement policy, most of its Fire and Police personnel now being subject to the new retirement provisions.
The 1948 annual appropriation ordinance requires that all uniformed personnel in the Bureau of Fire, who have reached the age of 65, and all patrolmen, all policewomen and certain high police officials, who have reached 65 years of age, shall be examined annually by the principal police and fire surgeon as to their ability to perform their assigned duties. Similar examinations are required for all other Bureau of Police personnel of rank higher than patrolmen who have completed 20 years of service and have reached the age of 65 Upon certification of an employe’s inability to do his work, he is to be retired.
