Current law prescribes a maximum age for entry into the Police
and Firemen's Retirement System (PFRS). Employees must be eligible
on or before their 35th birthday to qualify for enrollment.
Determining
the age for entry in the PFRS may vary between Civil Service and
non-Civil Service jurisdictions. All employees covered by:
Civil
Service (Title 11) whether State, county, or municipal candidates
cannot be past their 35th birthday as of the announced closing date
of the Civil Service examination. Those candidates meeting the age
requirements at that time will be considered as having met the maximum
age requirement for the duration of the ensuing Civil Service Eligibility
List from which appointments may be made.
Non-Civil
Service, primarily municipal employees, cannot be past their 35th
birthday as of their official date of hire.
There
are certain exceptions to the maximum age requirement:
Military
Service - Once you have met the definition of a veteran for
pension purposes, certain periods of military service may be used
on a one-for-one basis to "reduce" one's age for entry. Such military
service must have occurred during the:
Lebanon
Conflict: September 26, 1982 to December 1, 1987 Grenada Conflict:
October 23, 1983 to November 21, 1983 Panama Peacekeeping Mission:
December 20, 1989 to January 31, 1990 Operation Desert Shield/Storm:
August 2, 1990 to the present
The prospective
member must have served in the Armed Forces in the country/region
or on ships patrolling the territorial waters of these nations for
at least 14 days. If the start of the member's service began on
or after the beginning date of the conflict, consideration will
be granted as long as any part of the 14 days service falls on or
within the dates listed above. If the start of the member's service
was prior to the be ginning date of the war era, then the member
must have served 14 days in the area within the dates specified
for the conflict in order to be considered a veteran. Only that
period of service in the area of conflict may be subtracted from
an individual's age for eligibility purposes.
The 14-day
requirement for service can be waived if the veteran was discharged
because of a service-incurred disability. Absent Without Leave (AWOL)
status must be deducted from active service and if this reduces
the active service to less than the 14-day service requirement,
consideration will be denied.
Prior Police Service - In order to meet the maximum age requirement
of 35 years for the position of a municipal police officer, a former
state trooper, sheriff's officer or deputy, county or municipal
police officer, Septa, Delaware River Port Authority, Burlington
County Bridge Commission or Amtrak police officer is permitted to
use that previous service to reduce actual age. Prior experience
in federal law enforcement agencies or law enforcement agencies
of other states would also qualify to reduce a candidate's age for
the position of municipal police officer. No person may be appointed
over the age of 45 except for those who were previously terminated
involuntarily (laid-off, or part of a Reduction-In-Force) from their
former employment.
