GREAT-4(2) Reso 22-200 MAUI COUNTY COUNCIL LEGISLATIVE PACKAGE (RESOLUTION 22-200, RELATING TO REMOVAL OF THE MINIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT FOR POLICE OFFICER RETIREMENT) (GREAT-4(2))
In most states a police office is eligible to retire after 20 years of service. I strongly support changing our retirement eligibility back to 25 years.
I strongly support the removal of the age requirement, in an effort to keep officers on the job. I also suggest they bring back the 25 years from 30, and medical for the spouse, to help with recruiting.
I support in the removal of the minimum age requirement for Police Officer retirement. Maui Police Department is trying to recruit officers and to retire after 25 years of service will help recruit officers.
I strongly support the change back to working 25 years as a current officer myself. Being a police officer, working long hours, pushing my body to physical exhaustion and increased deterioration it is not easy to be in this field. I love what I do, but I also want to be heard on how physically and mentally taxing this career can be. With such a high turnover rate and new officers coming in then leaving for the mainland it makes it more of a challenge to work in an already understaffed line of work.
All shopo members and their families need the years of service back down to 25 at a minimum. The stress and ware and tare on our minds and bodies add up after decades of service. Mahalo.
I strongly support this change. It would help with the recruiting of young officers and to help retain them from leaving to mainland departments that requires only 20 - 25 years. I had multiple recruit classmates that left the department to a mainland department due mostly to retirement benefits.
Working as a police Officer is extremely stressful and difficult for many older officers due to natural physical deterioration, as well as the fact that there are always young men and women stepping into the criminal role yet officers age.
There are numerous documented health risks with the profession if an officer puts in their 25 years of service and feels compelled to leave due to physical or psychological damage, they should be afforded the opportunity to retire and hopefully be able to enjoy good health in retirement. 25 years of service as a police officer is very commendable. Requiring an age be met also can be a deterrent when attempting to attract candidates for the field of work.
Police departments nation wide are struggling to acquire qualified individuals, the State and counties need to make the retirement package better to attract qualified candidates.
Those men and women who protects my family dearly deserves to retire after 25 years of service regardless of their ages. 25 years is a bit too long for police officers before retiring. They have to sacrifice and endure a lot of bad approaches from a lot of bad people. 20 years of solving crimes and enduring negative lifestyles should be the maximum retirement for our officers.
