Police pension,

For the sake of balance and to put a myth to bed, police employers contribute 23% to that pension, and for the last 10 of the 30 years service, the employer doubles the contribution, effectively giving an officer 40 years worth of pension and gratuity for 30 years served.

I work amongst them and those in their last 10 years are pretty much only doing it for the pension at 50. Police staff pay 10.2 % contribution, the employer pays 13% and no gratuity and a retirement age of 65.
