Returner Scheme
The Returner Scheme is designed to help us in the return of police officers with valuable skills and experience who:
- would otherwise retire
- have retired from the force in the last two years
The scheme allows a police officer to retire from the force, but to then return as an attested officer after a short break of service, which must be a minimum of at least one calendar month.
Eligibility to apply
You must meet the following criteria:
- you must spend a minimum of one month and a maximum of two years in retirement
- you must have 30 or more year’s pensionable service and be entitled to retire with maximum pension benefits
- you are in service but have reached 30 years’ pensionable service or are approaching the 30 years’ pensionable service
Some conditions of service change following retirement and re-engagement on the Returner Scheme.
