I've always found it puzzling why a police officer's pension should somehow be in jeopardy should he break either the code of discipline or in some other way transgress. No other employer would be able to hold an employee to account in this way. To deny an officer his pension must be seen as grossly disproportionate to any misdemeanour he may be guilty of bearing in mind that it will usually be over and above any other penalty that may be imposed.
In my company, unless it`s gross misconduct, people are asked to leave to protect their pension. If they`re sacked, they lose it but I don`t think the company takes away the employees contributions. They lose any profits accrued plus employers contributions. I`m surprised anyone can be denied the money they have paid into a pension scheme. I would have thought it would be illegal to refuse to return it.
