She was arrested and fingerprinted and never notified the JOB.
Her BIGGEST problem was not notifying the job. And that's why they dumped her. She tried to get over on the job, and it didn't work. The shoplifting would have been the least of her problems. If she had been up-front about it, they may have put her on restricted duty for awhile, seek "counseling," etc.
This "permission of the PC" in the Administrative Code (which no other PD job has in NYS) can be a difficult hurdle to overcome. If you don't have "permission" to retire, you ain't retired, and you can't collect the pension. And if you decide to just walk away from the job despite being denied permission, and then you decide to put your papers in while you're walking away, the "permission" will be denied again until you return to face the original charges AND the AWOL charges. And how long will that take? What will be the ultimate punishment?
Just because a few antidotal stories about one guy here, and another there, getting out with their pension does not negate the fact that the city does have a procedure in place to put a delay...if not a halt....on your retirement, regardless of how much time you have on the job.
It all depends on how bad they want to get you. Sometimes, for them, giving you a pension...even 3/4s....is better than dealing with the bullshit the offending cop put them through.
But not always.
