* §  89-s.  Retirement  of  members who serve as peace officers in the
  Nassau county probation department. a. Any member who serves as a  peace
  officer  and is employed in the Nassau 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 Nassau 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.  Such  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 probation officer trainee
  or a probation assistant in the Nassau 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; for
  service beyond twenty-five years and for  non-probation  county  service
  the  benefit  is  increased  by one-sixtieth of final average salary for
  each year of additional service credit.
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 Nassau.
h. Nothing in this section 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.
j.  Notwithstanding  any  provision  of  this  section or of any other
  provision of law to the contrary, peace officers must serve  five  years
  within  the  Nassau county probation department after the effective date
  of this section before they are eligible to retire under the  provisions
  of the twenty-five year retirement plan.
