My partner for the two years I was a burglary detective dropped dead of an aneurism yesterday. 49 years old, retired barely 2 years.
RIP, I will miss you. I will IM the link to anyone who wants it, I am not going to post it publicly since it names my agency and I do not want to get arock'd. |

| So sad but definitely not out of the ordinary. I have lost count of the number of guys I have known who died within a few years of retirement. If only the loudmouths who want our "luxurious" pension packages cut could see the reality of what a career in policing does to most people. Sorry for your loss. |

I know a few guys who don't want to retire because of it. |

I know a few guys who don't want to retire because of it. Similar circumstances over on the "red side". It seems like the guys who have side jobs in other fields or who leave and go to part-time or VFDs and stay busy last longer than the guys who "do nothing but hunt and fish" who often seem to wind up just doing nothing instead. |

I know a few guys who don't want to retire because of it. We have a guy that has 27 years on plus 9 years of reserve time. He is terrified to retire because of that, among other things. |
