Folks go down to Pension unannounced all of the time. As stated above, who cares about the Good Guy Letter.
That's because, in essence, they have the "permission of the police commissioner."
But if you're name appears on Page 3 of the Monday morning NY Post, chances are when you go to the Pension Section, they'll tell you to "go up and see Chief So-and-So in Personnel..." and that's when the fun begins.
So it really comes down to the idea that EVERYONE has "the permission," until they want to pull it.
Your pension is not protected at 20 yrs. The city of new York can terminate you and make you sue for your pension.
That's the way I read it, too, in one form or another.
And keep in mind: this "permission" thing only holds for the NYPD; no other department has it. It's in the city's Administrative Code. That's why when you read about some cop getting jammed up upstate somewhere, you also read about them running to put their papers in, and getting out immediately, and only facing criminal charges (if the word "only" is the proper term...).
