* § 89-s. Retirement of members who serve as ambulance medical
technicians, ambulance medical technician/supervisors, members who
perform ambulance medical technician related services, police medics,
police medic supervisors and members who perform police medic related
services in the Nassau county police department. a. Any member who
serves as an ambulance medical technician, ambulance medical
technician/supervisor or a member who performs ambulance medical
technician related services, or a police medic, police medic supervisor
or a member who performs police medic related services and is employed
in the Nassau county police 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.

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 an ambulance medical technician, ambulance
medical technician/supervisor or member who performs ambulance medical
technician related services, or a police medic, police medic supervisor
or a member who performs police medic related services in the Nassau
county police 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 the benefit is increased by
one-sixtieth of final average salary for each year of additional service
credit provided, however, that the total allowance payable pursuant to
this section shall not exceed three-fourths of such member's 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 Nassau.

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.
