You definitely get a lesser retirement at 30 than at 65. In CA, cops generally get a pretty sweet retirement plan that lets them retire at 50 with almost a full paycheck as pension. Same with our Highway Patrol. In CA, under our PERS (Public Employee Retirement System), your pension amount is based on a formula that takes into account the number of years of your public service. The more years, the higher the pension.
