* §  89-s.  Retirement  of  members who serve as peace officers in the
  Suffolk county probation department. a. Any member who serves as a peace
  officer and is employed in the Suffolk county probation department shall
  be eligible to retire pursuant to the provisions of this  section.  Such
  eligibility  shall  be  an  alternative  to  the  eligibility provisions
  available under any other plan of this article to which such  member  is
  subject.  The  chief  executive  officer of the Suffolk county probation
  department shall certify to the comptroller, periodically  and  at  such
  intervals  of  time as may be required of him and in such fashion as may
  be prescribed, the identity  of  the  eligible  peace  officers  in  his
  employ.
b.  A  member  shall  be  entitled  to  retire  upon the completion of
  twenty-five years of total creditable service by filing  an  application
  therefor in the manner provided for in section seventy of this article.
c.  Upon  completion  of  twenty-five  years  of such service and upon
  retirement, each such member shall receive  a  pension  which,  together
  with  an  annuity  which  shall  be  the  actuarial  equivalent  of  his
  accumulated  contributions  at  the  time  of  his  retirement  and   an
  additional   pension   which   is   the   actuarial  equivalent  of  the
  reserved-for-increased-take-home-pay to which he may  then  be  entitled
  shall  be sufficient to provide him with a retirement allowance equal to
  one-half of his final average salary.
d. As used in this section "creditable service" shall include any  and
  all  services  performed  as  a  peace  officer, a correction officer as
  defined in section eighty-nine-f of this chapter,  a  probation  officer
  trainee in the Suffolk county probation department.
e. Credit for service as a member or officer of the state police or as
  a  paid  firefighter,  police  officer  or officer of any organized fire
  department or police force or department of any county,  city,  village,
  town, fire district or police district, or as a criminal investigator in
  the office of a district attorney, shall also be deemed to be creditable
  service  and  shall  be included in computing years of total service for
  retirement pursuant to this section.
f. A member contributing on the basis of this section at the  time  of
  retirement may retire after the completion of twenty-five years of total
  creditable  service.  Application  therefor  may  be  filed  in a manner
  similar to that provided  in  section  seventy  of  this  article.  Upon
  completion  of  twenty-five  years  of such service and upon retirement,
  each such member shall receive a pension which, together with an annuity
  which shall be the actuarial equivalent of his accumulated contributions
  at the time of his retirement and an additional  pension  which  is  the
  actuarial  equivalent  of  the  reserved-for-increased-take-home-pay  to
  which he may then be entitled shall be sufficient to provide him with  a
  retirement allowance equal to one-half of his final average salary.
g.  In  computing  the  twenty-five years of total service of a member
  pursuant to this section full credit shall be given and  full  allowance
  shall  be made for service of such member in time of war after World War
  I as defined in section two of this chapter, provided such member at the
  time of his entrance into the armed forces was in  the  service  of  the
  county of Suffolk.
h. Nothing herein shall be construed to prevent a member, who does not
  retire  pursuant  to  the  provisions  of  this  section, from utilizing
  service which is creditable service pursuant to the provisions  of  this
  section  for service credit pursuant to the provisions of any other plan
  of this article to which such member is subject.
i. The provisions of this section shall be controlling notwithstanding
  any other provision in this article to the contrary.
