Did they loose their pensions, and why were they taken off duty in the first place, how many times had they been suspended before they were finally given the heave ho? 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites

ThailandRyan 16,703 Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 So do they count them as fired if they resigned in-lieu of termination in order to keep their pensions like the police in the US are given a choice of in some cases. Link to post Share on other sites
